3.1 Tauler frontal
- 1-16 Gigabit RJ45 Ports: These ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections.
- Interruptor de mode: A physical switch to select between different operating modes:
- Gestionat: Enables full access to the webInterfície de gestió basada en per a configuracions avançades.
- VLAN (1-14): Activates VLAN functionality, segmenting ports 1-14 from the uplink ports.
- Extend (1-14): Extends the transmission distance for ports 1-14, typically at a reduced speed (e.g., 10 Mbps up to 250 meters).
- LED PWR: Indicates power status. On when the device is powered.
- LED d'enllaç/acció (per port): Indicates network activity. Solid green for a link, blinking for data transmission.
- Botó de reset: Toggle the mode switch left and back in 2 seconds to reset the device to factory default settings.
3.2 Panell posterior
- Entrada d'alimentació: Connector per al cable d'alimentació de CA.
4. Configuració
4.1 Connexió bàsica
- Connect your network devices (computers, servers, printers, etc.) to the RJ45 ports (1-16) on the front panel using standard Ethernet cables.
- Connect the power cord to the switch's power input and then to a power outlet.
- Ensure the PWR LED illuminates, indicating the switch is powered on.
4.2 Accés a Web Interfície de gestió
To configure advanced features, access the webInterfície de gestió basada en:
- Set the physical mode switch on the front panel to the 'Managed' position.
- Connect a computer to any port on the switch.
- Configure your computer's IP address to be in the same subnet as the switch's default IP address (e.g., if the switch's default IP is 192.168.0.1, set your computer's IP to 192.168.0.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0). Refer to the Installation Guide for the default IP address and login credentials.
- Obre a web browser and enter the switch's default IP address (e.g., http://192.168.0.1).
- Enter the default username and password (found in the Installation Guide) to log in.
5. Operating Modes and Advanced Features
5.1 Physical Mode Switch Functions
- Mode gestionat: This is the standard operating mode where all advanced features are configurable via the web interface. All ports operate at Gigabit speeds.
- VLAN Mode (1-14): When selected, ports 1-14 are isolated from each other and can only communicate with the uplink ports (typically 15-16). This enhances security and reduces broadcast traffic within segmented groups.
- Extend Mode (1-14): This mode allows for extended cable distances (up to 250 meters) for ports 1-14, typically by reducing the port speed to 10 Mbps. This is useful for connecting distant devices where full Gigabit speed is not required.
5.2 Advanced Software Features (Managed Mode)
When in Managed Mode, the switch offers the following configurable features:
- VLAN 802.1Q: Allows for network segmentation by creating Virtual Local Area Networks. This improves network security and efficiency by isolating traffic between different groups of devices.
Imatge 5.1: Ex.ample of VLAN configuration, segmenting devices into different logical networks (VLAN ID 1, 2, 3) even when connected to the same physical switch infrastructure. - 802.1p QoS (Quality of Service): Prioritizes network traffic to ensure critical applications (e.g., VoIP, video conferencing) receive sufficient bandwidth, reducing latency and improving performance.
Image 5.2: Illustration of QoS in action, where voice and video traffic are prioritized over general data to ensure smooth communication. - Agregació d'enllaços (LAG): Combines multiple physical links into a single logical link to increase bandwidth and provide link redundancy. This is useful for connecting to servers or other switches requiring higher throughput.
Image 5.3: A visual representation of Link Aggregation (LAG), where multiple cables between two switches act as a single, higher-bandwidth connection. - Snooping DHCP: A security feature that filters untrusted DHCP messages and builds a DHCP snooping binding database. This helps prevent rogue DHCP servers from assigning IP addresses to devices on the network.
Image 5.4: DHCP Snooping in action, blocking a rogue DHCP server from distributing unauthorized IP addresses on the network. - Snooping IGMP: Optimizes multicast traffic delivery, such as IPTV, by forwarding multicast packets only to ports that have explicitly requested them. This conserves bandwidth and improves network performance.
Image 5.5: IGMP Snooping ensures that IPTV streams are only sent to devices that are subscribed to them, preventing unnecessary traffic on other ports. - STP/RSTP/Loop Prevention: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) prevent network loops that can cause broadcast storms and network instability. Loop Prevention specifically detects and blocks loops on individual ports.
Image 5.6: An illustration of loop prevention, where a redundant connection is detected and blocked to maintain network stability. - Mirall de port: Allows traffic from one or more ports to be duplicated to a designated monitoring port. This is useful for network analysis and troubleshooting.
6. Web Interfície de gestió

7. Instal·lació
The Cudy GS1016E switch supports both desktop and rack-mountable installations.
7.1 Instal·lació d'escriptori
Col·loca l'interruptor sobre una superfície plana i estable. Assegura't que hi hagi una ventilació adequada al voltant del dispositiu per evitar el sobreescalfament.
7.2 Rack-Mount Installation
Use the included mounting kit to install the switch into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
- Attach the two rack-mount brackets to the sides of the switch using the provided screws.
- Secure the switch with the attached brackets into the equipment rack using appropriate rack screws (not always included with the switch, may be part of the rack).
8. Manteniment
- Neteja: Netegeu regularment l'exterior de l'interruptor amb un drap suau i sec. No utilitzeu netejadors líquids ni en aerosol.
- Ventilació: Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked to allow for proper airflow and prevent overheating.
- Actualitzacions de firmware: Consulteu periòdicament l'oficial de Cudy website for firmware updates. Firmware updates can improve performance, add features, or fix bugs. The update process typically involves downloading the firmware file to a computer and then uploading it via the web interfície de gestió.
- Cicle d'alimentació: If the switch experiences unexpected behavior, a power cycle (unplugging and replugging the power cord) can often resolve minor issues.
9. Solució De Problemes
- Sense energia: If the PWR LED is off, ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the switch and the power outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional.
- Sense enllaç/activitat: If a Link/Act LED is off for a connected device, check the Ethernet cable connection at both ends. Ensure the connected device is powered on and functioning correctly. Try a different port or cable.
- No es pot accedir Web Interfície:
- Ensure the mode switch is set to 'Managed'.
- Verify your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's default IP.
- Confirm you are using the correct default IP address, username, and password.
- Esborra la memòria cau del navegador o prova un altre navegador.
- If issues persist, perform a factory reset using the RESET button (refer to Section 3.1).
- Velocitat de xarxa lenta:
- Check the Link/Act LED color; it should indicate Gigabit speed (often green or specific color as per manual).
- Ensure all connected devices and cables support Gigabit Ethernet.
- If in 'Extend' mode, speeds will be reduced. Switch to 'Managed' mode for full Gigabit performance.
- Check for network congestion or faulty cables.
