1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for using the 24 dual-speed combo ports plus 2 Gigabit combo ports Managed Switch
that is specifically designed for SMB (small and medium businesses), SME and for FTTx
applications. The Managed Switch provides a built-in management module that enables users to
configure and monitor the operational status both locally and remotely. This User‟s Manual will
explain how to use command-line interface and Web Management to configure your Managed
Switch. The readers of this manual should have knowledge about their network typologies and
about basic networking concepts so as to make the best of this user‟s manual and maximize the
Managed Switch‟s performance for your personalized networking environment.

Figure 2-4: Model 4 Rear Panel
1.2 Management Options
Switch management options available are listed below:
Local Console Management
Telnet Management
SNMP Management
WEB Management
SSH Management
Local Console Management
Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 DB-9 Console port located on the rear
panel of the Managed Switch. Direct RS-232 cable connection between the PC and the Managed
switch is required for this type of management.
Telnet Management
Telnet runs over TCP/IP and allows you to establish a management session through the network.
Once the Managed switch is on the network with proper IP configurations, you can use Telnet to
login and monitor its status remotely.
SSH Management
SSH Management supports encrypted data transfer to prevent the data from being “stolen”for
remote management. You can use PuTTY, a free and open source terminal emulator application
which can act as a client for the SSH, to gain access to the Managed Switch.
SNMP Management
SNMP is also done over the network. Apart from standard MIB (Management Information Bases),
an additional private MIB is also provided for SNMP-based network management system to
compile and control.
Web Management
Web Management is done over the network and can be accessed via a standard web browser,
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Once the Managed switch is available on the network, you
can login and monitor the status of it through a web browser remotely or locally. Local Console-
type Web management, especially for the first time use of the Managed Switch to set up the
needed IP, can be done through one of the 10/100Base-TX 8-pin RJ-45 ports located at the front
panel of the Managed Switch. Direct RJ-45 LAN cable connection between a PC and the
Managed Switch is required for Web Management.

10
1.3 Management Software
The following is a list of management software options provided by this Managed Switch:
Managed Switch CLI interface
SNMP-based Management Software
Web Browser Application
Console Program
The Managed Switch has a built-in Command Line Interface called the CLI which you can use to:
Configure the system
Monitor the status
Reset the system
You can use CLI as the only management system. However, other network management options,
SNMP-based management system, are also available.
You can access the text-mode Console Program locally by connecting a VT-100 terminal - or a
workstation running VT100 emulation software - to the Managed Switch RS-232 DB-9 Console
port directly. Or, you can use Telnet to login and access the CLI through network connection
remotely.
SNMP Management System
Standard SNMP-based network management system is used to manage the Managed Switch
through the network remotely. When you use a SNMP-based network management system, the
Managed Switch becomes one of the managed devices (network elements) in that system. The
Managed Switch management module contains an SNMP agent that will respond to the requests
from the SNMP-based network management system. These requests, which you can control, can
vary from getting system information to setting the device attribute values.
The Managed Switch‟s private MIB is provided for you to be installed in your SNMP-based
network management system.
Web Browser Application
You can manage the Managed Switch through a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or
Netscape, etc.. (The default IP address of the Managed Switch port can be reached at
“http://192.168.0.1”.) For your convenience, you can use either this Web-based Management
Browser Application program or other network management options, for example SNMP-based
management system as your management system.

11
1.4 Management Preparations
After you have decided how to manage your Managed Switch, you are required to connect cables
properly, determine the Managed switch IP address and, in some cases, install MIB shipped with
your Managed Switch.
Connecting the Managed Switch
It is very important that the proper cables with the correct pin arrangement are used when
connecting the Managed switch to other switches, hubs, workstations, etc..
1000Base-X / 100Base-FX SFP Port
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical data
communication applications. It interfaces a network device mother board (for a switch, router
or similar device) to a fiber optic or unshielded twisted pair networking cable. It is a popular
industry format supported by several fiber optic component vendors.
SFP transceivers are available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types,
allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required
optical reach over the available optical fiber type. SFP transceivers are also available with a
"copper" cable interface, allowing a host device designed primarily for optical fiber
communications to also communicate over unshielded twisted pair networking cable.
SFP slot for 3.3V mini GBIC module supports hot swappable SFP fiber transceiver. Before
connecting the other switches, workstation or Media Converter, make sure both side of the
SFP transfer are with the same media type, for example, 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX,
1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX, and check the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP transfer
model. To connect to 1000Base-SX transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable with male
duplex LC connector type for one side. To connect to 1000Base-LX transfer, use the single-
mode fiber cable with male duplex LC connector type for one side.
10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 Auto-MDI/MDIX Port
24 x 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 Auto-MDI/MDIX ports are located at the front of the Managed
Switch. These RJ-45 ports allow user to connect their traditional copper-based Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet devices to the network. All these ports support auto-negotiation and MDI/MDIX
auto-crossover, i.e. either crossover or straight through CAT-5 UTP or STP cable may be
used.
RS-232 DB-9 Port
The RS-232 DB-9 port is located at the rear of the Managed Switch. This DB-9 port is used
for local, out-of-band management. Since this DB-9 port of the Managed switch is DTE, a null
modem is also required to be connected to the Managed Switch and the PC. By connecting
this DB-9 port, it allows you to configure & check the status of Managed Switch even when
the network is down.

12
IP Addresses
IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n, (The default factory setting is 192.168.0.1).
IP addresses are made up of two parts:
The first part (for example 192.168.n.n) refers to network address that identifies the network
where the device resides. Network addresses are assigned by three allocation organizations.
Depending on your location, each allocation organization assigns a globally unique network
number to each network which intends to connect to the Internet.
The second part (for example n.n.0.1) identifies the device within the network.
Assigning unique device numbers is your responsibility. If you are unsure of the IP addresses
allocated to you, consult with the allocation organization where your IP addresses were
obtained.
Remember that an address can be assigned to only one device on a network. If you connect to
the outside network, you must change all the arbitrary IP addresses to comply with those you have
been allocated by the allocation organization. If you do not do this, your outside communications
will not be performed.
A subnet mask is a filtering system for IP addresses. It allows you to further subdivide your
network. You must use the proper subnet mask for the proper operation of a network with subnets
defined.
MIB for Network Management Systems
Private MIB (Management Information Bases) is provided for managing the Managed Switch
through the SNMP-based network management system. You must install the private MIB into
your SNMP-based network management system first.
The MIB file is shipped together with the Managed Switch. The file name extension is “.mib”that
allows SNMP-based compiler can read and compile.

13
2. Command Line Interface (CLI)
This chapter introduces you how to use Command Line Interface CLI, specifically in:
Local Console
Telnet
Configuring the system
Resetting the system
The interface and options in Local Console and Telnet are the same. The major difference is the
type of connection and the port that is used to manage the Managed Switch.
2.1 Using the Local Console
Local Console is always done through the RS-232 DB-9 port and requires a direct connection
between the switch and a PC. This type of management is useful especially when the network is
down and the switch cannot be reached by any other means.
You also need the Local Console Management to setup the Switch network configuration for the
first time. You can setup the IP address and change the default configuration to the desired
settings to enable Telnet or SNMP services.
Follow these steps to begin a management session using Local Console Management:
Step 1. Attach the serial cable to the RS-232 DB-9 port located at the back of the Switch with
a null modem.
Step 2. Attach the other end to the serial port of a PC or workstation.
Step 3. Run a terminal emulation program using the following settings:
Emulation VT-100/ANSI compatible
BPS 9600
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow Control None
Enable Terminal keys
Step 4. Press Enter to access the CLI (Command Line Interface) mode.

14
2.2 Remote Console Management - Telnet
You can manage the Managed Switch via Telnet session. However, you must first assign a
unique IP address to the Switch before doing so. Use the Local Console to login the Managed
Switch and assign the IP address for the first time.
Follow these steps to manage the Managed Switch through Telnet session:
Step 1. Use Local Console to assign an IP address to the Managed Switch
IP address
Subnet Mask
Default gateway IP address, if required
Step 2. Run Telnet
Step 3. Log into the Switch CLI
Limitations: When using Telnet, keep the following in mind:
Only two active Telnet sessions can access the Managed Switch at the same time.
2.3 Navigating CLI
When you successfully access the Managed Switch, you will be asked for a login username. Enter
your authorized username and password, and then you will be directed to User mode. In CLI
management, the User mode only provides users with basic functions to operate the Managed
Switch. If you would like to configure advanced features of the Managed Switch, such as, VLAN,
QoS, Rate limit control, you must enter the Configuration mode. The following table provides an
overview of modes available in this Managed Switch.
Command Mode
Access Method
Prompt Displayed
Exit Method

NOTE: By default, the model name will be used for the prompt display. You can change
the prompt display to the one that is ideal for your network environment using the
hostname command. However, for convenience, the prompt display “Switch” will be used
throughout this user’s manual.

While in CLI, you will see several symbols very often. As mentioned above, you might already
know what “>”, “#”and (config)# represent. However, to perform what you intend the device to do,
you have to enter a string of complete command correctly. For example, if you want to assign IP
address for the Managed Switch, you need to enter the following command with the required
parameter and IP, subnet mask and default gateway:
IP command syntax: Switch(config)#ip address [A.B.C.D] [255.X.X.X] [A.B.C.D]
Switch(config)#ip address 192.168.1.198 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.254
The following table lists common symbols and syntax that you will see very frequently in this

2.3.4 Login Username & Password
Default Login
When you enter Console session, a login prompt for username and password will appear to
request a valid and authorized username and password combination. For first-time users, enter
the default login username “admin”and “press Enter key”in password field (no password is
required for default setting). When system prompt shows “Switch>”, it means that the user has
successfully entered the User mode.
For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that you add a new login username and
password using User command in Configuration mode. When you create your own login
username and password, you can delete the default username (admin) to prevent unauthorized
accesses.
Enable Mode Password
Enable mode is password-protected. When you try to enter Enable mode, a password prompt will
appear to request the user to provide the legitimate passwords. Enable mode password is the
same as the one entered after login password prompt. By default, no password is required.
Therefore, press Enter key in password prompt.
Forgot Your Login Username & Password
If you forgot your login username and password, you can use the “reset button” on the front panel
to set all configurations back to factory defaults. Once you have performed system reset to
defaults, you can login with default username and password. Please note that if you use this
method to gain access to the Managed Switch, all configurations saved in Flash will be lost. It is
strongly recommended that a copy of configurations is backed up in your local hard-drive or file
server from time to time so that previously-configured settings can be reloaded to the Managed
Switch for use when you gain access again to the device.
