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.

Important

The Managed Switch is shipped with Management Port IP address 192.168.1.1/24 assigned and VLAN1 interface IP A address 192.168.0.254/24 assigned by default. User can assign another IP address to the Managed Switch via the console inter- JULWIENE face 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 tum 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.

Figure 4-1 Managed Switch Console Connectivity

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.

1. Click START menu, then Programs, and then Tera Term.
2. 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

Figure 4-2 Tera Term COM Port Configuration

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

Figure 4-3 Managed Switch Console Login Screen

The user can now enter commands to manage the 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 pass- word after this first setup.
2. Accept command in lowercase or uppercase letter under console interface.

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 vian 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

Figure 44 Configuring IPv4 Address Screen

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

1. 0n “Switch#” prompt, enter “show ip interface brief”.
2. The screen displays the current IP address, subnet mask and gateway as shown in Figure 4-5.

Figure 4-5 Showing IP Information 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 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.

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 to 10Gbps. For example, to establish the fiber connection with 1000BASE-X SFP transceiver in the tgigaethernet 0/1, the following command configuration is required:

• Switch#config
• Switch_config#interface tgigaethernet 0/1
• Switch_config_tg1/1#speed 1000
• Switch_config_tg1/1#exit
• Switch_config#interface range tgigaethernet 0/2-24
• Switch_config_if_range#speed 1000
• Switch_config_if_range#

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.

Figure 5-1 IP Management Diagram

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 and 192.168.1.1 on Management Port, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.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 Management Port: 192.168.1.1
• Default IP of Interface VLAN 1: 192.168.0.254
• Username: admin
• Password: admin

Logging in to the Managed Switch from Management Port

1. Use Intemet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.1.1 (that you have just set in console) to access the Web interface.

2. When the following dialog box appears, please enter the configured usemame “admin” and password “admin” (or the username/password you have changed via console). The login screen in Figure 5-2 appears.
   Figure 52 Login Screen
