4. Funcionament de l'interruptor

4.1 Configuració inicial

El commutador es pot gestionar mitjançant un Web UI, Command-Line Interface (CLI), or over-the-air access via Bluetooth.

Web Accés a la IU:

Connect a computer to any Ethernet port on the switch. The switch typically obtains an IP address via DHCP or uses a default IP. Access the Web UI by entering the switch's IP address into a web navegador.

Accés a la CLI:

Connect to the switch using an RJ-45 console cable or a USB console cable to a terminal emulator on a computer. Use standard CLI commands for configuration and management.

4.2 Funcions avançades

• Seguretat: Supports 802.1X for port-based network access control, Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) for traffic monitoring, and Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard for preventing Layer 2 loops.
• Gestió: SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is supported for network monitoring and management.
• Apilat: The Catalyst 2960X series supports FlexStack-Plus for stacking multiple switches into a single logical unit, simplifying management and increasing bandwidth.
