A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the Managed Switch.

1. Run terminal program on the OS.
2. When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port should be configured as:

• Baud: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None

Figure 3-2: COM Port Configuration

3.1 Logon to 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 to log in user name and password. The factory default user name and password are shown as follows and the login screen in Figure 3-3 appears.

Username: admin
Password: admin

Figure 3-3: Managed Switch Console Login Screen

The user can now enter commands to manage the Managed Switch. For a detailed description of the commands, please refer to the following chapters.

Note

1. For security reason, please change and memorize the new password after this first setup.
2. Only accept command in lowercase letter under console interface.

3.2 Configuring IP Address

The Managed Switch is shipped with default IP address shown below.

IP Address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Switch, please use the procedures as follows:

• Show the current IP Address
1. At the “#” prompt, enter “show ip interface brief”.
2. The screen displays the current IP address as shown in Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-4: IP Information Screen

• Configuring IP Address
3. At the “#” prompt, enter the following command and press < Enter> as shown in Figure 3-5.

GS-5220 Series# configure terminal
GS-5220 Series(config)# interface vlan 1
GS-5220 Series(config-if-vlan)# i p address 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0

The previous command would apply the following settings for the Managed Switch.

IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Figure 3-5: Configuring IP Address Screen

4. Repeat step 1 to check if the IP address has changed.

3.3 Storing current switch configuration

At the “#” prompt, enter the following command and press < Enter>.

# copy running-config startup-config

Figure 3-6: Saving Current Configuration Command Screen

If the IP is successfully configured, the Managed Switch will apply the new IP address setting immediately. You can access the Web interface of the Managed Switch through the new IP address.

Note

If you are not familiar with the console command or the related parameter, enter “help” anytime in console to get the help description.

4. Starting Web Management

The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed Switch. 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 default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100 , then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

4. PC / Workstation with Web Browser 192.168.0.x

4.1 Logging in to the Managed Switch

1. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.0.100 (the factory default IP address or the one that you have just changed in console) to access the Web interface.
2. When the following dialog box appears, please enter the default user name and password “admin” (or the password you have changed via console). The login screen in Figure 4-2 appears.

Default IP Address: 192.168.0.100

If you are not familiar with Switch functions or the related parameter, press “Help icon” anytime on the Web page to get the help description.

Now, you can use the Web management interface to continue the Switch management or manage the Switch by console interface.

Please refer to the user’s manual for more.

4.2 Saving Configuration

In the Managed Switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running configuration sequence of running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by executing save startup config command, so that the running configuration sequence becomes the startup configuration file, which is called configuration save.

To save all applied changes and set the current configuration as a startup configuration, the startup-configuration file will be loaded automatically across a system reboot.

1. Click System, Save Startup Config

2. Press the “Save Configuration” button.

5. Recovering Back to Default Configuration

• IP address has been changed or admin password has been forgotten ­-

To reset the IP address to the default IP address “192.168.0.100” or reset the login password to default value, press the hardware-based reset button on the front panel for about 10 seconds. After the device is rebooted, you can login the management Web interface within the same subnet of 192.168.0.xx.
