3. Opsætning

3.1 Fysisk installation

Switchen kan installeres på et skrivebord eller monteres i et standard 19-tommer udstyrsrack.

• Desktop installation: Place the switch on a flat, stable surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
• Rackmontering: Use the provided rack-mount kit to secure the switch in a standard equipment rack. Follow the instructions included with the kit for proper mounting.

3.2 Tilslutning af strøm

1. Connect the included power cable to the power input on the rear panel of the switch.
2. Sæt den anden ende af strømkablet i en jordet stikkontakt.
3. The System LED on the front panel will illuminate when power is supplied.

3.3 Netværksforbindelser

1. Connect network devices (e.g., computers, servers, IP phones, wireless access points) to the RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports using standard Ethernet cables.
2. For fiber optic connections, insert compatible SFP transceivers into the combo SFP ports and connect fiber optic cables.
3. The Link/Act LED for each connected port will illuminate when a valid link is established and blink to indicate activity.
4. For PoE-powered devices, the PoE LED will illuminate when power is being supplied.

3.4 Adgang til indledende konfiguration

Switchen kan konfigureres via en web-based interface or a Command Line Interface (CLI).

• Web-Baseret grænseflade: Connect a computer to any port on the switch. The switch will typically obtain an IP address via DHCP or use a default IP address. Refer to the product documentation for the default IP address and login credentials. Open a web browser and enter the switch's IP address to access the management interface.
• Kommandolinjegrænseflade (CLI): For advanced users, the switch supports CLI access via a console port (if available) or SSH/Telnet after initial network configuration.

Tools like Cisco Discovery Protocol and Cisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility can assist in discovering the switch on your network and launching the web interface.

4. Betjening af kontakten

4.1 Grundlæggende netværksforbindelse

Once connected and powered on, the switch will forward traffic between connected devices. For basic plug-and-play operation, no further configuration may be immediately required.

4.2 Power over Ethernet (PoE)

The SG300-28P provides Power over Ethernet on its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing compatible devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras to receive power directly through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power adapters for these devices.

4.3 Managed Features

The switch offers a range of managed features accessible through its web-based interface or CLI:

• Virtual LANs (VLANs): Segment your network into separate broadcast domains for improved security and performance.
• Servicekvalitet (QoS): Prioritize network traffic for critical applications like voice (IP telephony) and video to ensure consistent performance. The switch supports automatic voice VLAN and QoS configuration for connected endpoints.
• Sikkerhedsfunktioner: Implement Access Control Lists (ACLs) to control network access, and configure guest VLANs for secure visitor access.
• Statisk routing: Configure static routes for inter-VLAN routing or connecting to other networks.
• IPv6 support: The switch supports the latest generation of networking protocols.

5. Vedligeholdelse

5.1 firmwareopdateringer

Tjek Cisco-supporten med jævne mellemrum website for firmware updates. Keeping the switch firmware current ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware update package for the upgrade process.

5.2 Rengøring
