Introduction
The Switch can be managed through the Switch’s serial port, Telnet, or the Web-based management agent. The
Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the Switch via the serial port or Telnet
interfaces.
The DES-3528/DES-3552 Series Layer 2 stackable Fast Ethernet Switch Series are members of the D-Link xStack®
family. Ranging from 10/100Mbps edge Switches to core gigabit Switches, the xStack Switch family has been future-
proof designed to provide a stacking architecture with fault tolerance, flexibility, port density, robust security and
maximum throughput with a user-friendly management interface for the networking professional.
This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI for the xStack®DES-3528, DES-
3528P, DES-3528DC, DES-3552 and DES-3552P series of Switches. Configuration and management of the Switch
via the Web-based management agent is discussed in the User’s Guide.
NOTE: For the remainder of this manual, all versions of the DES-3528, DES-3528P, DES-3528DC,
DES-3552 and DES-3552P Switches will be referred to as simply the Switch or the DES-3528/52
Series.
Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch’s serial port’s default settings are as follows:
•115200 baud
•no parity
•8 data bits
•1 stop bit
A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100 terminal and a serial port configured
as above are then connected to the Switch’s serial port via an RS-232 DB-9 cable.
With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible.

UserName:
There is no initial username or password. Just press the Enter key twice to display the CLI input cursor −DES-
3528:admin# .This is the command line where all commands are input.
Setting the Switch’s IP Address
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager
or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch’s default IP address is 10.90.90.90. Users can
change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be
found on the initial boot console screen – shown below.

Configuration init ........................................ |
The Switch’s MAC address can also be found in the Web management program on the Switch Information (Basic
Settings) window on the Configuration menu.
The IP address for the Switch must be set before it can be managed with the Web-based manager. The Switch IP
address can be automatically set using BOOTP or DHCP protocols, in which case the actual address assigned to the
Switch must be known.
The IP address may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI) over the console serial port as follows:
1. Starting at the command line prompt, enter the commands config ipif System ipaddress
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy. Where the x’s represent the IP address to be assigned to the IP interface
named System and the y’s represent the corresponding subnet mask.
2. Alternatively, users can enter config ipif System ipaddress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/z. Where the x’s represent the
IP address to be assigned to the IP interface named System and the zrepresents the corresponding number
of subnets in CIDR notation.
The IP interface named System on the Switch can be assigned an IP address and subnet mask which can then be
used to connect a management station to the Switch’s Telnet or Web-based management agent.
DES-3528:admin# config ipif System ipaddress 10.24.73.21/8
Command: config ipif System ipaddress 10.24.73.21/8
Success.
DES-3528:admin#
In the above example, the Switch was assigned an IP address of 10.24.73.21 with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. The
system message Success indicates that the command was executed successfully. The Switch can now be configured
and managed via Telnet, SNMP MIB browser and the CLI or via the Web-based management agent using the above
IP address to connect to the Switch.

Using the Console CLI
The DES-3528/52 Series supports a console management interface that allows the user to connect to the Switch’s
management agent via a serial port and a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program. The console
can also be used over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. The console program can be used to configure
the Switch to use an SNMP-based network management software over the network.
This chapter describes how to use the console interface to access the Switch, change its settings, and monitor its
operation.
NOTE: Switch configuration settings are saved to non-volatile RAM using the save command. The
current configuration will then be retained in the Switch’s NV-RAM, and reloaded when the Switch is
rebooted. If the Switch is rebooted without using the save command, the last configuration saved to
NV-RAM will be loaded.
Connecting to the Switch
The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an
ordinary terminal emulator program (e.g., the HyperTerminal program included with the Windows operating system)
using an RS-232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set to:
•VT-100 compatible
•115200 baud
•8 data bits
•No parity
•One stop bit
•No flow control
Users can also access the same functions over a Telnet interface. Once users have set an IP address for your Switch,
users can use a Telnet program (in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. All of the
screens are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface.
After the Switch reboots and users have logged in, the console looks like this:

When users enter a command without its required parameters, the CLI will prompt users with a Next possible
completions: message.
DES-3528:admin# config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username>
DES-3528:admin#
In this case, the command config account was entered with the parameter <username>. The CLI will then prompt
users to enter the <username> with the message, Next possible completions:. Every command in the CLI has this
feature, and complex commands have several layers of parameter prompting.
In addition, after typing any given command plus one space, users can see all of the next possible sub-commands, in
sequential order, by repeatedly pressing the Tab key.
To re-enter the previous command at the command prompt, press the up arrow cursor key. The previous command
will appear at the command prompt.
DES-3528:admin# config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username>
DES-3528:admin# config account
Command: config account
Next possible completions:
<username>
DES-3528:admin#
In the above example, the command config account was entered without the required parameter <username>, the
CLI returned the Next possible completions: <username> prompt. The up arrow cursor control key was pressed to
re-enter the previous command (config account) at the command prompt. Now the appropriate username can be
entered and the config account command re-executed.
All commands in the CLI function in this way. In addition, the syntax of the help prompts are the same as presented in
this manual −angle brackets < > indicate a numerical value or character string, braces { } indicate optional parameters
or a choice of parameters, and brackets [ ] indicate required parameters.
If a command is entered that is unrecognized by the CLI, the top-level commands will be displayed under the
Available commands: prompt.

DES-3528:admin#
The top-level commands consist of commands such as show or config. Most of these commands require one or
more parameters to narrow the top-level command. This is equivalent to show what? or config what? Where the
what? is the next parameter.
For example, if users enter the show command with no additional parameters, the CLI will then display all of the
possible next parameters.

{braces}
Purpose Encloses an optional value or set of optional arguments.
Syntax reset {[config | system]} force_agree
Description In the above syntax example, users have the option to specify config or system. It is not
necessary to specify either optional value, however the effect of the system reset is
dependent on which, if any, value is specified. Therefore, with this example there are three
possible outcomes of performing a system reset. See the following chapter, Basic
Commands for more details about the reset command. Do not type the braces.
Example command reset config
(parentheses)
Purpose Indicates at least one or more of the values or arguments in the preceding syntax
enclosed by braces must be specified.
Syntax config dhcp_relay {hops <value 1-16> | time <sec 0-65535>}(1)
Description In the above syntax example, users have the option to specify hops or time or both of
them. The "(1)" following the set of braces indicates at least one argument or value within
the braces must be specified. Do not type the parentheses.

2_minutes | 5_minutes | 10_minutes | 15_minutes]}(1)
Description This command is used to configure the serial port’s baud rate and auto logout settings.
Parameters baud_rate [9600 | 19200 | 38400 | 115200] −The serial bit rate that will be used to
communicate with the management host. There are four options: 9600, 19200, 38400,
115200. Factory default setting is 115200.
never −No time limit on the length of time the console can be open with no user input.
2_minutes −The console will log out the current user if there is no user input for 2 minutes.
5_minutes −The console will log out the current user if there is no user input for 5 minutes.
10_minutes −The console will log out the current user if there is no user input for 10
minutes.
15_minutes −The console will log out the current user if there is no user input for 15
minutes.
Restrictions Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure baud rate:
DES-3528:admin# config serial_port baud_rate 115200
Command: config serial_port baud_rate 115200
Success.
DES-3528:admin#
NOTE: If a user configures the serial port’s baud rate, the baud rate will take effect and save
immediately. Baud rate settings will not change even if the user resets or reboots the Switch. The
Baud rate will only change when the user configures it again. The serial port’s baud rate setting is not
stored in the Switch’s configuration file. Resetting the Switch will not restore the baud rate to the
default setting.
