3. Switch Management
To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to congure 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
conguration,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 congure
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. Logging on to console
2.Assigning/ConguringIPaddress
3. Creating a remote login account
4.EnablingHTTPorTelnetserverontheManagedSwitch
In case in-band management fails due to Managed Switch conguration changes,
out-of-band management can be used for conguring and managing the Managed
Switch.
Note
TheManagedSwitchisshippedwithManagement PortIPaddress
192.168.1.1/24 assigned and VLAN 1 interface IP address
192.168.0.100/24 assigned by default. User can assign another
IP address to the Managed Switch via the Console interface to
be able to remotely access the Managed Switch through Telnet or
HTTP.

4. Terminal Setup
To congure 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
conguredas:
Baud:115200
Parity:None
Databits:8
Stopbits:1
Flowcontrol:None

4.1 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 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.

4.2 ConguringIPAddress
The IP address conguration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below.
Before using in-band management, the Managed Switch must be congured with
an IP address by out-of-band management (i.e. console mode). The conguration
commandsareasfollows:
Switch# cong terminal
Switch(cong)# interface vlan 1
Switch(cong-if)# ip address 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0
ThepreviouscommandwouldapplythefollowingsettingsfortheManagedSwitch.
IPv4 Address: 192.168.0.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Figure 4-4: Conguring IPv4 Address Screen

To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Managed
Switch,pleaseusetheprocedureasfollows:
Show the current IP address
1. On “Switch#”prompt,enter“show ip interface vlan 1”.
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 congured, 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
parameter, enter “?” anytime in console to get the help descrip-
tion.

4.3 Setting1000BASE-XforSFP+Port
TheManagedSwitchsupports both1000BASE-Xand 10GBASE-XSFPtransceiver
bymanualsettingandthedefaultSFP+portspeedissetto10Gbps.
For example, to establish the ber connection with 1000BASE-X SFP transceiver in
the Ethernet 1/25,thefollowingcommandcongurationisrequired:
Switch#cong terminal
Switch(cong)#interface ethernet 1/25
Switch(cong-if)#speed-duplex 1000full
Figure 4-6: Setting 1000BASE-X Screen
4.4 SavingtheConguration
InManagedSwitch, therunning congurationlestores inthe RAM. Inthe current
version, the running conguration sequence running-cong can be saved from the
RAM to FLASH by copy running-cong startup-cong command, so that the
running conguration sequence becomes the start-up conguration le, which is
calledcongurationsave.
Switch# copy running-cong startup-cong
Startupcongurationlename:startup1.cfg

then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x (where x is
a number between 1 and 254, except 1 or 100), 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:192.168.0.100
Username:admin
Password:admin
