Switch Management
To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switch
for network management. The Managed Switch provides two management options:
Out-of-Band Management and In-Band Management.
-
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through console interface.
Generally, the user will use out-of-band management for the initial switch configuration, or when in-band management is not available. -
In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging in to the Managed Switch using Telnet or HTTP, or using SNMP management software to configure the Managed Switch. In-band management enables the management of the Managed Switch to attach some devices to the Switch. The following procedures are required to enable in-band management:
1. Log on to console
2. Assign/Configure IP address
3. Create a remote login account
4. Enable HTTP or Telnet server on the Managed Switch
In case in-band management fails due to Managed Switch configuration changes, out-of-band management can be used for configuring and managing the Managed Switch.
The Managed Switch is shipped with VLAN1 interface IP address 192.168.0.254/24 assigned by default. User can assign another IP address to the Managed Switch via the console interface to be able to remotely access the Managed Switch through Telnet or HTTP.
Requirements
Workstations running Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/8/10, MAC OS X or later,
Linux, UNIX, or other platforms are compatible with TCP/IP protocols.
Workstations are installed with Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card)
Serial Port Connection (Terminal)
- The above Workstations come with COM Port (DB9) or USB-to-RS232 converter.
- The above Workstations have been installed with terminal emulator, such as Tera Term or PuTTY.
- Serial cable — one end is attached to the RS232 serial port, while the other end to the console port of the Managed Switch.
Management Port Connection
- Network cables — Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.
- The above PC is installed with Web browser
Note
It is recommended to use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above to access the
Managed Switch. If the Web interface of the Managed Switch is not accessible,
please turn off the anti- virus software or firewall and then try it again.
Terminal Setup
To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or
notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the Managed Switch. The
console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already, so that you can connect
the console port directly through PC without the need of Null Modem.
A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the Managed Switch. Tera Term program may be a good choice. The Tera Term can be accessed from the Start menu.
- Click START menu, then Programs, and then Tera Term.
- When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port should be configured as:
• Baud: 9600
• Parity: None
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
4.1 Logging on to the Console
Once the terminal is connected to the device, power on the Managed Switch, and
the terminal will display “running testing procedures”.
Then, the following message asks for the login user name and password. The
factory default user name and password are as follows as the login screen in
Figure 4-3 appears.
Username: admin
Password: admin
The user can now enter commands to manage the Switch. For a detailed description of the commands, please refer to the following chapters.
Note
- For security reason, please change and memorize the new password after this first setup.
- Accept command in lowercase or uppercase letter under console interface.
4.2 Configuring IP Address
The IP address configuration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below.
Before using in-band management, the Managed Switch must be configured with an
IP address by out-of-band management (i.e. console mode). The configuration
commands are as follows:
Switch#config
Switch_config#interface vlan 1
Switch_config_v1)#ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
The previous command would apply the following settings for the Managed
Switch.
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Managed
Switch, please use the procedures as follows:
Show the current IP address
- On “Switch#” prompt, enter “show ip interface brief”.
- The screen displays the current IP address, subnet mask and gateway as shown in Figure 4-5.
If the IP is successfully configured, the Managed Switch will apply the new IP address setting immediately. You can access the Web interface of Managed Switch through the new IP address.
Note
If you are not familiar with console command or the related param- eter,
enter “help” anytime in console to get the help description.
4.3 Setting 1000BASE-X for 10G SFP+ Port
The Managed Switch supports both 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-X SFP transceivers by
manual setting and the default SFP+ port speed is set in the fiber auto mode,
so the end-user can plug the transceiver directly.
In another example, the end-user has to force the fiber connection with
1000BASE-X SFP transceiver in the togetherness 0/1. The following command
configuration is required:
4.4 Changing Password
The default password of the switch is “admin”. For security reason, it is
recommended to change password and the following command configuration is
required:
4.5 Saving the Configuration
In Managed Switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the
current version, the running configuration sequence running-config can be
saved from the RAM to FLASH by write command, so that the running
configuration sequence becomes the start-up configuration file, which is
called configuration save.
Switch#write
Switch#write
Saving current configuration.
OK!
Switch#Jan 2 00:56:04 /startup-config is wrote, TID:85bd29c0
Figure 4-8 Write Screen
Starting Web Management
The Managed Switch provides a built-in browser interface. You can manage it
remotely by having a remote host with Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Apple Safari. 
The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed Switch.
Please note the Managed Switch is configured through an Ethernet connection.
Please make sure the manager PC must be set to the same IP subnet address.
For example, the IP address of the Managed Switch is configured with
192.168.0.254 on Interface VLAN 1, then the manager PC should be set to
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and 253, except 1 or 254), and the
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
The factory default user name and password are as follows:
Default IP of Interface VLAN 1: 192.168.0.254
Username: admin
Password: admin
5.1 Logging in to the Managed Switch from copper ports
-
Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.0.254 (that you have just set in console) to access the Web interface.
-
When the following dialog box appears, please enter the configured username “admin” and password “admin” (or the username/password you have changed via console). The login screen in Figure 5-2 appears.
-
After entering the password, the main screen appears as shown in Figure 5-3.
-
The Switch Menu on the left of the Web page lets you access all the commands and statistics the Switch provides.
Now, you can use the Web management interface to continue the Switch management or manage the Managed Switch by console interface. Please refer to the user manual for more.
5.2 Saving Configuration via the Web
The configuration area is to show the content that is selected in the
navigation area. The configuration area always contains one or more buttons,
such as “Refresh”, “Apply” and “Reset”.
The “Apply” button indicates applying the modified configuration to the
device. The application of the configuration does not mean that the
configuration is saved in the configuration file.
To save the configuration, you have to click “Save All” on the top control
bar.
“Save All” function is equivalent to the execution of the write
command.
