Main Menu> Advanced
The Advanced page allows professional users to operate more complicated features of the device,
which include VLAN, Spanning Tree, Port Trunking, Multimedia support (IGMP), traffic
prioritization, SNMP, and port mirroring. These features are powerful and can degrade or disable a
network if improperly used. The eleven sub-menus are introduced below.
Advanced Security: The user can configure the security settings of the switch by choosing
either to use basic password or RADIUS server to authenticate the user attempting to
configure the switch. In addition, the user can also set up IP filtering to allow only approved
users on the network to configure the switch.
Port-Based Authentication: The user can configure the ports of the switch for authentication
through a RADIUS server to authenticate the user attempting to connect to the network
through a port on the switch.
Port Mirroring: Users can designate a port for monitoring traffic from one or more other ports
or of a single VLAN configured on the switch. The switch monitors the network activity by
copying all traffic from the specified monitoring sources to the designated monitoring port, to
which a network analyzer can be attached.
