Clustering Manager | The following fields relate to configuring the cluster manager. |
Active | Enable the switch button to have this Switch become the cluster manager switch. A cluster can only have one manager. Other (directly connected) switches that are set to be cluster managers will not be visible in the Clustering Candidates list. If a Switch that was previously a cluster member is later set to become a cluster manager, then its Status is displayed as Error in the Cluster Management Status screen and a warning icon appears in the member summary list below. |
Name | Type a name to identify the Clustering Manager. You may use up to 32 printable ASCII characters except [ ? ], [ | ], [ ' ], [ " ], or [ , ]. (spaces are allowed). |
VID | This is the VLAN ID and is only applicable if the Switch is set to 802.1Q VLAN. All switches must be directly connected and in the same VLAN group to belong to the same cluster. Switches that are not in the same VLAN group are not visible in the Clustering Candidates list. This field is ignored if the Clustering Manager is using Port-based VLAN. |

Ping Test | |
IPv4 | Select this option if you want to ping an IPv4 address. Otherwise, select – to send ping requests to all VLANs on the Switch. |
IPv6 | Select this option if you want to ping an IPv6 address. You can also select vlan and specify the ID number of the VLAN to which the Switch is to send ping requests. Otherwise, select – to send ping requests to all VLANs on the Switch. |
IP Address/Host Name | Type the IP address or host name of a device that you want to ping in order to test a connection. Click Ping to have the Switch ping the IP address. |
Count | Enter the number of ICMP Echo Request (ping) messages the Switch continuously sends. |

IPv6 | Select this option if you want to trace the route packets taken to a device with an IPv6 address. |
IP Address/Host Name | Enter the IP address or host name of a device to which you want to perform a traceroute. Click Trace Route to have the Switch perform the traceroute function. This determines the path a packet takes to the specified device. |
TTL | Enter the Time To Live (TTL) value for the ICMP Echo Request packets. This is to set the maximum number of the hops (routers) a packet can travel through. Each router along the path will decrement the TTL value by one and forward the packets. When the TTL value becomes zero and the destination is not found, the router drops the packets and informs the sender. |
Wait Time | Specify how many seconds the Switch waits for a response to a probe before running another traceroute. |
Queries | Specify how many times the Switch performs the traceroute function. |
Ethernet Port Test | |
Port | Enter a port number and click Port Test to perform an internal loopback test. |
Port | This is the number of the physical Ethernet port on the Switch. |

Port | Enter a port number and click Diagnose to perform a physical wire-pair test of the Ethernet connections on the specified ports. The following fields display when you diagnose a port. ![]() |
Port | This is the number of the physical Ethernet port on the Switch. |
Channel | An Ethernet cable usually has four pairs of wires. A 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX port only use and test two pairs, while a 1000BASE-T port requires all four pairs. This displays the descriptive name of the wire-pair in the cable. |
Pair status | Ok: The physical connection between the wire-pair is okay. Open: There is no physical connection (an open circuit detected) between the wire-pair. Short: There is an short circuit detected between the wire-pair. Unknown: The Switch failed to run cable diagnostics on the cable connected this port. Unsupported: The port is a fiber port or it is not active. |
Cable length | This displays the total length of the Ethernet cable that is connected to the port when the Pair status is Ok and the Switch chipset supports this feature. This shows N/A if the Pair status is Open or Short. Check the Distance to fault. This shows Unsupported if the Switch chipset does not support to show the cable length. |
Distance to fault | This displays the distance between the port and the location where the cable is open or shorted. This shows N/A if the Pair status is Ok. This shows Unsupported if the Switch chipset does not support to show the distance. |

CPU | Type a number ranging from 50 to 100 in the CPU threshold box, and type another number ranging from 5 to 60 in the seconds box then click Apply. For example, 80 for CPU threshold and 5 for seconds means a log will be created when CPU utilization reaches over 80% and lasts for 5 seconds. The log report holds 7 days of CPU log data and is stored in volatile memory (RAM). The data is lost if the Switch is turned off or in event of power outage. After 7 days, the logs wrap around and new ones and replace the earliest ones. The higher the CPU threshold number, the fewer logs will be created, and the less data technical support will have to analyze and vice versa. |
Mbuf | Type a number ranging from 50 to 100 in the Mbuf (Memory Buffer) threshold box. The Mbuf log report is stored in flash (permanent) memory. For example, Mbuf 50 means a log will be created when the Mbuf utilization is over 50%. The higher the Mbuf threshold number, the fewer logs will be created, and the less data technical support will have to analyze and vice versa. |
