1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for using the 8 Ports 10/100/1000Base-T plus 1 Port 1000Base-X or
100/1000Base-X Uplink, or 9 Ports 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet Managed Switch. The built-
in management module allows users to configure this Switch and monitor the operation status
locally or remotely through network.
The Managed Switch is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards. By employing
store and forward switching mechanism, the Switch provides low latency and faster data
transmission. Moreover, it also supports more advanced functions such as QoS, Q-in-Q
VLAN Tunneling, Rate Limiting, IGMP Snooping, etc.. Users can configure the required
settings of the Switch and monitor its real-time operational status via Command Line Interface
(CLI). For detailed descriptions on how to use CLI, please refer to Section 2.
1.1 Interfaces
Depending on the main device and optional accessories that you purchased, the front panel
and rear panel of your Switch may look differently from model to model. Figure 1 to 4 show

1.2 Management Preparations
The Managed Switch can be accessed through both Telnet connection and a web browser,
such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, etc.. Before you can access the Managed Switch to
configure it, you need to connect cables properly.
1.2.1 Connecting the Managed Switch
It is extremely important that proper cables are used with correct pin arrangements when
connecting Managed Switch to other devices such as switches, hubs, workstations, etc..
1000Base-X Fiber Port or 100/1000 Base-X Fiber Port
The 1000Base-X fiber port is located at the rear panel of the Managed Switch. This
port is primarily used for uplink connection and can operate at 1000M/Full or Half
Duplex mode. Duplex SC or WDM Simplex SC types of connectors are available. Use
proper multimode or single-mode optical fiber cable to connect this port with the other
Ethernet Fiber port.
Before connecting to other switches, workstations or media converters, make sure
both sides of the fiber transfer are with the same media type, for example 1000Base-X
Single-mode to 1000Base-X Single-mode, 1000Base-X Multimode to 1000Base-X
Multimode. Check that the fiber-optic cable type matches the fiber transfer model. To
connect to 1000Base-SX transfer, use the multimode fiber cable (one side must be
male duplex SC connector type). To connect to 1000Base-LX transfer, use the single-
mode fiber cable (one side must be male duplex LC connector type).

10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 Ports
Depending on the model that you purchased, 8 or 9 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports
are located on the front panel of the Managed Switch. These RJ-45 ports allow users
to connect their traditional copper-based Ethernet devices to network. All these ports
support auto-negotiation and MDI/MDIX auto-crossover, i.e. the crossover or straight
through CAT-5 cable may be used.
1.2.2 Assigning IP Addresses
IP addresses have the format n.n.n.n, for example 168.168.8.100.
IP addresses are made up of two parts:
The first part (168.168.XXX.XXX in the example) indicates network address identifying
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 that wishes to connect to
the Internet.
The second part (XXX.XXX.8.100 in the example) 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 the allocation organization from which 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, 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 connected.
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 a proper operation of a network with
subnets defined.

2. Command Line Interface (CLI)
This chapter guides you to use Command Line Interface (CLI) via Telnet connection,
specifically in:
Configuring the system
Resetting the system
Upgrading newly released firmware
2.1 Remote Console Management-Telnet
You can use Command Line Interface to manage the Managed Switch via Telnet session.
For first-time users, you must first assign a unique IP address to the Managed Switch before
you can manage it remotely. Use any one of the RJ-45 ports on the front panel as the
temporary management console port to login to the device with the default username &
password and then assign the IP address using IP command in Global Configuration mode.
Follow steps described below to access the Managed Switch through Telnet session:
Step 1. Use any one of the RJ-45 ports on the front panel as a temporary management
console port to login to the Managed Switch.
Step 2. Run Telnet client and connect to 192.168.0.1. For first-time users, make sure
the IP address of your PC or workstation is assigned to an IP address between
192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Step 3. When asked for a username, enter “admin”. When asked for a password, leave
the password field blank and press Enter (by default, no password is required.)
Step 4. If you enter CLI successfully, the prompt display Switch> (the model name of
your device together with a greater than sign) will appear on the screen.
Step 5. Once you enter CLI successfully, you can set up the Switch‟s IP address,
subnet mask and the default gateway using “IP”command in Global
Configuration mode. The telnet session will be terminated immediately once the
IP address of the Switch has been changed.
Step 6. Use new IP address to login to the Managed Switch via Telnet session again.
Limitation: Only one active Telnet session can access the Managed Switch at a time.

12
2.2 Navigating CLI
After you successfully access to the Managed Switch, you will be asked for a login username.
Enter your authorized username and password, and then you will be directed to the 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, and Rate limit control, you must enter the
Configuration Mode. The following table provides an overview of modes available in this
Managed Switch.
Command Mode

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 “host-
name”command. However, for convenience, the prompt display “Switch” will be used
throughout this user’s manual.
2.2.1 General Commands

2.2.3 Command Format
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
This means that
you are in Global
Configuration mode
This allows you to
assign IP address.
Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway address.

2.2.4 Login Username & Password
Default Login
After you enter Telnet session, a login prompt 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.
Forgot Your Login Username & Password?
If you forgot your login username and password, you can use the “reset button” 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 restored to the Managed
Switch for use after you gain access again to the device.
2.3 User Mode
In User mode, only a limited set of commands are provided. Please note that in Use Mode,
you have no authority to configure advanced settings. You need to enter Privileged mode and
Configuration mode to set up advanced functions of a switch feature. For a list of commands
available in User Mode, enter the question mark (?) or “help”command after the system
prompt displays “Switch>”.

2.5.1 Entering Interface Numbers
In the Global Configuration Mode, you can configure a command that is only applied to
interfaces specified. For example, you can set up each interface‟s VLAN assignment, speed,
or duplex mode. To configure, you must first enter the interface number. There are four ways
to enter your interface numbers to signify the combination of different interfaces that apply to
a command or commands.
Commands
Description
Switch(config)# interface 1
Switch(config-if-1)#
Enter a single interface. Only interface 1 will apply to
commands entered.
Switch(config)# interface 1,3,5
Switch(config-if-1,3,5)#
Enter three discontinuous interfaces, separating by a
comma. Interface 1, 3, 5 will apply to commands
entered.
Switch(config)# interface 1-3
Switch(config-if-1-3)#
Enter three continuous interfaces. Use a hyphen to
signify a range of interface numbers. In this example,
interface 1, 2, and 3 will apply to commands entered.
Switch(config)# interface 1,3-5
Switch(config-if-1,3-5)#
Enter a single interface number together with a range
of interface numbers. Use both commas and hyphens
o signify the combination of different interface
numbers. In this example, interface 1, 3, 4, 5 will apply
to commands entered.
The “interface”command can be used together with “Loop Detection”, “QoS”, “VLAN”and
“Security”commands. For detailed usages, please refer to Loop Detection, QoS, VLAN and
Security sections below.
2.5.2 No Command
Most commands that you enter in Configuration mode can be negated using “no”command
followed by the same or original command. The purpose of “no”command is to disable a
function, remove a command, or set the setting back to the default value. In each sub-section
below, the use of no command to fulfill different purposes will be introduced.
2.5.3 Show Command
The command “show”is very important for network administrators to get information about
the device, receive outputs to verify a command‟s configurations or troubleshoot a network
configuration error. “Show”command can be used in Privileged or Configuration mode. The
following describes different uses of “show”command.
