• Adgangskontrollister (ACL'er): Configure ACLs to filter network traffic based on various criteria, providing granular control over network access.
• Link Aggregation (LAG): Kombinér flere fysiske links til et enkelt logisk link for at øge båndbredden og give redundans.

7. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer optimal ydeevne og levetid for din switch.

• Firmwareopdateringer: Periodically check the NETGEAR support website for the latest firmware updates. Updating the firmware can provide new features, performance improvements, and security patches. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware download carefully.
• Rensning: Hold kontakten fri for støv og snavs. Brug en blød, tør klud til rengøring. Sørg for, at ventilationsåbningerne er frie.
• Gendan fabriksindstillinger: In case of configuration issues or forgotten passwords, the switch can be restored to factory default settings using the recessed Factory Defaults button on the front panel. This will erase all custom configurations.

8. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your NETGEAR XS748T switch, consider the following:

• Ingen strøm: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and a working power outlet. Check the Power LED status.
• Intet link/aktivitet: Verify that Ethernet cables are properly connected to both the switch and the network device. Check the corresponding Port Status LEDs. Ensure connected devices are powered on and functioning correctly.
• Kan ikke få adgang til administrationsgrænsefladen: Confirm that your computer is on the same network segment as the switch or has a route to the switch's IP address. Verify the switch's IP address and your computer's network settings. Try resetting the switch to factory defaults if the IP address is unknown or inaccessible.
• Ydelsesproblemer: Check for network congestion, faulty cables, or incorrect port configurations (e.g., speed/duplex mismatch). Ensure firmware is up to date.
