4. Configuração

4.1 Instalação Física

The switch supports both desktop placement and wall mounting. Choose a location that allows for proper ventilation and easy access to ports.

Figure 4: The switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted on a wall for flexible installation.

4.2 Conectando Dispositivos

Connect your network devices (e.g., computers, NAS, routers, access points) to the RJ45 ports on the switch using appropriate Ethernet cables. The ports are adaptive and will automatically negotiate the speed (100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G).

Figura 5: Example of connecting devices like 4K Video devices, WiFi 7 Routers, 10G NAS, WiFi-7 APs, 10G NICs, and AC Managers to the switch.

4.3 Inicial Web Acesso de gerenciamento

Para acessar o web interface de gerenciamento:

1. Ensure your PC's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's default IP (e.g., 192.168.2.x).
2. Abra um web Abra o navegador e acesse o endereço IP padrão: 192.168.2.1.
3. The default User Name is administrador. There is no default password; leave it blank.
4. Click "Login" to access the dashboard.

Observação: Please set an IP address via IPv4 first before logging in to this switch.

5. Operando o interruptor

5.1 Configuração da Porta

The switch ports support auto-negotiation for speed and duplex settings. It is generally recommended to leave ports in auto-negotiation mode for optimal compatibility.

For specific scenarios, such as connecting to 2.5G or 1G SFP+ devices, you may need to manually set the port speed within the web interface. Navigate to the "Switching" section, then "Port Link Config" to adjust settings for individual ports. Select the desired port, choose the appropriate speed (e.g., 2.5G Full, 1G Full), and click "Apply".

5.2 Recursos Gerenciados

The SODOLA switch offers a range of managed features accessible through its web interface:

• Gerenciamento de VLAN: Create and manage Virtual Local Area Networks to segment network traffic.
• Agregação de links (LACP): Combine várias ligações físicas em uma única ligação lógica para aumentar a largura de banda e a redundância.
• Qualidade de Serviço (QoS): Prioritize network traffic to ensure critical applications receive sufficient bandwidth.
• Espionagem IGMP: Optimize multicast traffic delivery to relevant devices.
• Espionagem DHCP: Aprimore a segurança da rede filtrando mensagens DHCP não confiáveis.
• SNMP: Monitor network devices and manage network performance.
• Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP): Prevent network loops and ensure network stability.
• Espelhamento de porta: Monitore o tráfego de rede enviando uma cópia dos pacotes de uma porta para outra.
• Controle de tempestade: Prevent network disruptions caused by excessive broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast traffic.
• Filtragem de endereço MAC: Control network access based on MAC addresses.

6. Manutenção

6.1 Sistema de Resfriamento

The switch is equipped with an internal cooling fan to manage heat dissipation, especially during high-power operation. Ensure adequate airflow around the device. If fan noise is a concern, the fan can be removed by opening the casing, though this may affect thermal performance.

Figure 10: The switch features a high-quality cooling fan for efficient heat dissipation and 4KV lightning protection.

6.2 Opções de Redefinição

O web management interface provides options to reset the device:

• Reinicialização do dispositivo: Restarts the switch.
• Padrão de fábrica: Resets all configuration settings to their original factory defaults.
• Redefinição de senha: Resets the management password.

These options are typically found under the "Maintenance" section of the web interface.

7. Solução De Problemas

• Sem link/conectividade:
  • Check if the Ethernet cables are securely connected to both the switch and the connected device.
  • Verify the LED indicators for the port. If off, the link is blocked or inactive.
  • Certifique-se de que o dispositivo conectado esteja ligado e funcionando corretamente.
  • If manually configured, ensure the port speed setting matches the connected device's capability. Forcing speed on RJ45 ports is not recommended and can cause issues.
• Não é possível acessar Web Interface:
  • Confirm your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch (default: 192.168.2.x).
  • Verify the switch's IP address has not been changed from the default 192.168.2.1.
  • Try clearing your browser's cache.
  • Reboot the switch and try again.
• Velocidade de rede lenta:
  • Ensure all connected devices and cables support 10G speeds for optimal performance.
  • Check the Link/Act LED indicators to confirm the negotiated speed (Green for 10Gbps).
  • Verify that auto-negotiation is enabled on ports unless a specific manual speed setting is required for SFP+ connections.
• Ruído do ventilador:
  • The internal fan operates to dissipate heat. If noise is excessive, ensure the switch is in a well-ventilated area.
  • The fan can be removed by opening the casing, but this is not recommended as it may lead to overheating and reduced device lifespan.
