You can configure the properties of a switch to optimize network performance, enhance security, and manage traffic more effectively.

1. On the navigation bar, select Wired > Switches > Switch List.
   The Switches page is displayed.
2. From the list of switches and stacks, click the checkbox for the switch or stack that you want to edit.
3. Click Edit.
   The Switch Details or Stack Details tab is displayed (as applicable).
4. (Optional) Modify the following details, as necessary.
   Available fields depend on whether you are editing a single switch or a stack.

   • Editing a Switch: Modify Switch Name and Description, as required.
   • Editing a Stack: Modify Stack Name, Description, and Stack Member, as required. Click Add another member to add another switch to the stack. You may also reorder the stack members by dragging-and-dropping their icons.
5. Click Apply if you are only editing the switch or stack details. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
6. (Optional) Select the Settings tab.
   On the Settings page, you can edit the following:
   • DHCP Client: Select a VLAN from the DHCP Client drop-down list.
     Note: The DHCP Client interface setting is applied only to factory-default switches. Switches with an existing configuration do not receive this change to prevent connectivity loss.
   • IP Assignment: Configure the switch IP address using one of the following methods:
     • DHCP: Dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
     • Static/Manual: Manually configure the following settings:
   • Jumbo Mode: Toggle the switch on or off to enable this feature. By default, the toggle is off.

     When you enable Jumbo Mode and apply the settings, a Switch Reboot is Required dialog box is displayed indicating that the switch will reboot after the configuration is applied.

     When enabled, this option allows transmission of jumbo frames on an Ethernet interface.

     A switch reboot is required when jumbo mode settings are applied.

   • IGMP Snooping: Select an option from the IGMP Snooping drop-down list. It optimizes the delivery of multicast traffic within a local area network (LAN). The following are the available options:
     • Active
     • Passive
     • None
   • Spanning Tree Priority: Select a value from the Spanning Tree Priority drop-down list. It is used to determine the priority of the switch in the spanning tree election process. The following values are available: 0 - likely root, 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384, 20480, and 24576.
     Note: Beginning with RUCKUS FastIron 10.0.20a and later, the Spanning tree protocol can be either set to RSTP or None, and the value of Spanning Tree Priority can be set to zero or increments of 4096.
   • Static Routes: Static routes are manually configured routing entries in the routing table of a switch. The ICX 8100 series now supports static routing across multiple virtual interfaces, enhancing Layer 3 capabilities. Support for static routing has been enhanced for the following ICX 8100 series switch models:

     Table 1. Supported RUCKUS ICX 8100 Models

     Model Name	Description
     ICX 8100-24	Standard 24-port switch
     ICX 8100-24P	PoE-enabled 24-port switch
     ICX 8100-24P-X	10G 24‑port PoE‑enabled switch
     ICX 8100-24-X	10G 24‑port switch
     ICX 8100-48	Standard 48-port switch
     ICX 8100-48P	PoE-enabled 48-port switch
     ICX 8100-48P-X	10G 48‑port PoE‑enabled switch
     ICX 8100-48PF	PoE-enabled 48-port with additional features
     ICX 8100-48PF-X	10G PoE-enabled 48-port variant
     ICX 8100-48-X	10G variant of 48-port switch
     ICX 8100-C08PF	Compact 8-port PoE switch
     ICX 8100-C08PF-X	10G compact 8-port PoE switch
     ICX 8100-C16P	Compact 16-port PoE switch
     ICX 8100-C16P-X	10G compact 16-port PoE switch

     Before adding a static route, ensure your ICX device is running FastIron firmware version 10.0.10h or later. Refer to Firmware Update Management by Switches for instructions on upgrading your switch firmware.

   • Port Authentication: Toggle the switch on to enable the feature. By disabled, the toggle is off. When enabled, complete the following fields:
     • Auth Default VLAN: Specifies the default VLAN assigned after successful authentication.
     • Guest VLAN: Specifies the VLAN assigned to unauthenticated users.

     The Authentication configuration settings are applied at the switch level, meaning all ports with Port Authentication enabled will inherit these settings unless custom settings are configured at the port level.

     Port-specific custom settings override the switch-level settings. The Guest VLAN is exclusively a switch-level configuration.

7. Click Apply to apply the configuration settings.
