Insight Managed 28-Port and 52-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switches
Configure Router Discovery
The Router Discovery protocol is used by hosts to identify operational routers (or routing
interfaces) on the subnet. Router discovery messages can be of two types: router
advertisements and router solicitations. The protocol requires each router to periodically
advertise the IP addresses that it is associated with. Hosts listen for these advertisements
and discover the IP addresses of neighboring routers.
 To configure the router discovery parameters:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Routing > Router Discovery.
The Router Discovery Configuration page displays.
6. Select the check box for the routing interface.
To configure all routing interfaces, select the check box in the heading row. To configure a
single interface, select the check box associated with the interface. The interface number
displays in the Interface field in the table heading row.
7. From the Advertise Mode menu, select Enable.
Router advertisements are transmitted from the selected interface.
8. In the Advertise Address field. specify the IP address to be used to advertise the switch.
9. In the Maximum Advertise Interval field, specify the maximum time (in seconds) allowed
between router advertisements sent from the interface.
The default is 600 seconds.
10. In the Minimum Advertise Interval field, specify the minimum time (in seconds) allowed
between router advertisements sent from the interface.
The default is 450 seconds.
