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

1. On the RUCKUS One web interface, select Wired > Switches > Switch List.
   The Switch List 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 Stack Details or Stack Details tab is displayed (as applicable).

   

4. (Optional) Change or modify the following details, as necessary. Available fields are dependent on whether you are editing a single switch or a stack.
   • Switch Name: Edit the switch name.
   • Stack Name: Edit the stack name.
   • Description: Edit the description of the switch or stack.
   • Stack Member: 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:
   • IP Assignment
     • DHCP: Dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
     • Static/Manual: Manually configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway IP addresses.
       Note: The IP address is the VE 1 IP address.
   • Jumbo Mode: When enabled, this option allows transmission of jumbo frames on an Ethernet interface, improving network performance for applications that require high bandwidth data transfer, such as video streaming. Disabled by default, use the toggle to enable or subsequently disable this option.
   • IGMP Snooping: Optimizes the delivery of multicast traffic within a local area network (LAN). The following are the available options:
     • Active
     • Passive
     • None
   • Spanning Tree Priority: Spanning Tree Priority (STP) is a configurable parameter on each switch. STP is used to determine the priority of the switch in the spanning tree election process. Select the priority from the drop-down menu.
     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 static routing entries in the routing table of a switch. Click Add Route to add a static route. The Add Route side bar is displayed. Configure the Destination IP, Next Hop, and optionally, Admin Distance, then click Add.

     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: Disabled by default, you can enable or subsequently disable the Port Authentication feature using the toggle. Once enabled, configure the associated settings, such as Auth Default VLAN and Guest VLAN.

     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.
