Frequently Asked Questions - DS-3E1516-EI Hikvision

How do I activate the switch for the first time?

Connect your PC to the switch and ensure they are on the same network. Enter the switch's IP address (default: DHCP-assigned or super IP 10.180.190.200) in a browser. Set a strong password (8-16 chars with uppercase, lowercase, digits, special) and confirm.

What is the default username and password?

The default username is admin. There is no default password; you must create one during the first activation. The password must meet complexity requirements.

How can I reset the switch to factory defaults?

Go to System Management > System Maintenance > Reset. Choose Restore All to Defaults to reset all parameters, or Restore to Defaults to keep network and user settings. The switch will reboot.

How do I configure VLANs on the switch?

Navigate to VLAN Management. Add VLANs (single or batch) with IDs from 1 to 4094. Then assign ports to VLANs with ACCESS or TRUNK type and set PVID. Ports in the same VLAN communicate; different VLANs are isolated.

How can I monitor network traffic using port mirroring?

Go to L2 Configuration > Port Mirroring. Select the source port(s) (mirrored ports) and specify the monitoring port (mirroring port). Choose mirroring direction: ingress, egress, or both. Traffic from the source port(s) is copied to the monitoring port for analysis.

How do I upgrade the firmware?

Go to System Management > System Maintenance > Upgrade. Click the folder icon to select the upgrade patch file from your computer, then click Upgrade. The switch will reboot after successful upgrade.

Why can't I access the web interface?

Ensure your PC is on the same network segment as the switch. Use the correct IP address: either a DHCP-assigned IP (check with SADP tool) or the super IP 10.180.190.200 if directly connected. Clear browser cache or try a different browser (Edge 89+, Chrome 89+, Firefox 78+).

How do I enable PoE?

The DS-3E1516-EI does not support PoE. This model is a non-PoE switch. If you need PoE, consider a different model.

Can I manage the switch remotely via the internet?

Yes, enable Hik-Connect cloud service in System Management > Network Configuration > Cloud Platform Configuration. Then bind the device to your Hik-Partner Pro app for remote management.

How do I change the IP address of the switch?

Go to System Management > Network Configuration > Network Settings. You can manually set a static IP (IPv4 address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) or enable DHCP. After modification, log in using the new IP.

4.3 VLAN Configuration

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) separate an existing physical network into multiple logical networks. Thus, each VLAN creates its own broadcast domain. With VLANs configured on a switch, users in the same VLAN can communicate with each other, while users in different VLANs are isolated. In this way, different broadcast domains are isolated, enhancing network security.

4.3.1 Add VLAN

Note

The maximum number of VLANs that can be added in a batch varies with device models. Please refer to the actual situation.

1. Set VLAN ID.

2. Single: Enter a VLAN ID.

3. Batch: Enter the start VLAN ID and end VLAN ID.

i Note

• The VLAN ID should be an integer between 1 and the maximum number of VLANs allowed by the device. For example, if the maximum number of VLANs allowed is 4094, the VLAN ID should be integer between 1 and 4094.
• The end VLAN ID should be greater than the start VLAN ID.
• The number of VLANs to be batch added should be no more than the maximum number of VLANs that can be added in a batch. For example, in the case that the maximum number of VLANs that can be added in a batch is 128, if you set the start VLAN ID to 1, the end ID cannot be greater than 128.

4.4 STP Configuration

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a layer-2 link management protocol that provides path redundancy and prevents loops in a network topology. STP uses a spanning-tree algorithm to select one switch as the root of a spanning tree, and determines the network topology by transmitting Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) packets between devices, helping to create a stable network.

Steps

1. Go to L2 Configuration → STP.

Figure 4-11 Configure STP

1. In Global STP Configuration, enable STP.
2. Set STP parameters as required.

Table 4-1 STP Parameters

Parameter Description
Bridge Priority	The value ranges from 0 to 61440, in an increment of 4096. The default value is 32768. Valid values are 0, 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384, ..., and 61440.The smaller the value, the higher the bridge priority of a switch. A switch with higher bridge priority is more likely to become the root bridge.
Hello Time The interval	val between each BPDU that is sent on a port, which is used for port link diagnosis. The value ranges from 1 to 10 seconds. The default value is 2 seconds.
Max. Aging Time The	maximum length of time interval that a STP-enabled switch port saves its configuration BPDU information. The value ranges from 6 to 40 seconds. The default value is 20 seconds. NoteThe Max. aging time must meet the following conditions: 2 × (Hello Time + 1) ≤ Max. Aging Time ≤ 2 × (Forwarding Delay – 1)
Forwarding Delay The	the time interval that is spent in the listening and learning state when the topology changes. The value ranges from 4 to 30 seconds. The default value is 15 seconds.

1. Click Save.

2. Optional: Click Port Status or STP Status to view the STP status of each port or global STP configuration.

Note

• The Port Status information includes the port name, path cost, port role, and port status.
• The STP Status information includes the bridge ID, root bridge ID, as well as hello time, Max. aging time, and forwarding delay of the root bridge.

4.5 LLDP Configuration

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a layer 2 neighbor discovery protocol that allows devices to advertise device information to their directly connected peers/neighbors. With LLDP enabled, network devices can send LLDP data units (LLDPDUs) to inform other devices of their status. LLDP helps to draw network topology and detect improper configurations in a network.

Steps

1. Go to L2 Configuration → LLDP.
2. Enable or disable LLDP.

Figure 4-12 Configure LLDP

Note

After LLDP is enabled, network devices can discover each other, facilitating network topology drawing.

1. Optional: View the local port(s), MAC address(es) of peer device(s), and peer port(s) in the Neighbor Information list.
