Speco P32S36GM — Managed Switch Web Configuration Guide

Web management configuration guide for the Speco P32S36GM managed network switch. Covers logging into the web administrator, port and VLAN configuration, security/QoS features, system management, routing, and diagnostics (software release 4.0.x, document V1.08).

Getting Started

• Default login: Username admin, password admin, default device IP 192.168.56.166. Change the password immediately after first login for device security.
• Connect a PC to the switch via Ethernet (all ports belong to VLAN 1 by default), set the PC's IP to the same subnet as the switch's default VLAN interface (e.g. 192.168.56.120), then browse to the switch's IP to reach the web login page.
• Save configuration changes explicitly through the web interface's Save Configuration function, or changes may be lost on restart.

Interface Management

• Port Management: Enable/disable ports, set speed/duplex mode.
• Port Speed Limit: Rate-limit ingress/egress traffic per port.
• Storm Control: Suppress broadcast/multicast/unknown-unicast storms.
• Port Statistics: Monitor per-port traffic counters.
• Port Mirroring: Copy traffic from one or more source ports to a monitor port for analysis.
• Port Isolation: Restrict traffic forwarding between specified ports.
• Port Aggregation (LAG): Combine multiple physical ports into a single logical link for bandwidth/redundancy — includes configuration examples in the full guide.
• PoE Management: Monitor and control Power over Ethernet delivery per port (PoE-capable models).

Switching Features

• VLAN: Configure link type (access/trunk/hybrid), default VLAN (PVID), and VLAN membership — includes worked configuration examples for typical multi-VLAN setups.
• ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching): Ring topology redundancy protocol for fast failover on ring networks.
• MAC Address Management: View and configure static/dynamic MAC address table entries, with a worked configuration example.
• QinQ (VLAN Stacking): Double-tag VLAN configuration for service provider / carrier-style VLAN isolation, with configuration examples.

Security & QoS

• ACL (Access Control Lists): Define traffic filtering rules by source/destination address, port, or protocol.
• QoS: Prioritize traffic classes for latency-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, video).
• DHCP Snooping: Prevent rogue DHCP servers on the network by filtering DHCP traffic to trusted ports only.
• 802.1X Authentication: Port-based network access control requiring client authentication before granting network access.
• MAC Authentication: Authenticate devices by MAC address as an alternative to 802.1X.
• RADIUS: Configure a RADIUS server for centralized authentication with 802.1X or MAC authentication.

System Management

• Manage IP Addresses: Configure the switch's management IP, subnet, and gateway.
• User Management: Add/edit/remove admin accounts and permission levels.
• Services: Enable/disable management services (web, Telnet, SSH, SNMP, etc.).
• SNMP: Configure SNMP community strings/versions for network monitoring integration.
• Date/Time: Set the system clock manually or via NTP.
• Profile Management: Save/restore/export configuration profiles.
• System Upgrade: Load new firmware onto the switch.
• Log/Diagnosis: View system logs for troubleshooting.
• Restart: Reboot the switch from the web interface.

Routing

• Routing: Configure static/inter-VLAN routing on Layer 3-capable models.
• ARP Management: View and manage the ARP table for IP-to-MAC address resolution.

Diagnostics

• Network Tools: Built-in ping/traceroute-style diagnostics for troubleshooting connectivity.
• Dying Gasp: Last-gasp power-loss notification (on supported hardware).
• Optical Transceiver Information: View SFP/optical module diagnostics — vendor, wavelength, temperature, and signal levels — for switches with SFP uplink ports.
