Figure 5-3: 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 pass-
word after this first setup.
2.Only accept command in lowercase letter under console interface.
5.2 ConguringIPAddress
TheManagedSwitchisshippedwithdefaultIPaddressasfollows:
IPAddress:192.168.0.100
SubnetMask:255.255.255.0

11
To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Switch, please
usetheproceduresasfollows:
Show the current IP address
1.Atthe“GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “show ip”.
2. The screen displays the current IP address, subnet mask and gateway as shown
inFigure5-4.
Figure 5-4: IP Information Screen
 Conguring IP address
3.Atthe“GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “congure”.
4.At the “GS-4210 Series(cong)#” prompt, enter the following command and
press <Enter>asshowninFigure5-5.
GS-4210Series(cong)# ip address 192.168.1.100 mask 255.255.255.0
GS-4210Series(cong)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
The previous command would apply the following settings for the Switch.
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Figure 5-5: IP Address Screen

5. Repeat Step 1 to check if the IP address is changed.
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 the GS-4210
Managed Switch Series through the new IP address.
Note
If you are not familiar with console command or the related param-
eter, enter “?” anytime in console to get the help description.
5.3 SavingtheCongurationviatheConsole
In the switch, the running conguration le is stored in the RAM. In the current
version, the running conguration sequence running-cong can be saved from the
RAMtoFLASH bywriting the command or copying the running-cong startup-
cong command, so that the running conguration sequence becomes the startup
congurationle,whichiscalledcongurationsave.
At the “GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “copy running-cong startup-
