2. 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.
Important
TheManagedSwitchisshippedwithIPaddress(192.168.0.254/24)
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.
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. Logon to console
2.Assign/CongureIPaddress
3. Create a remote login account
4.Enable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

converter.
 The above Workstations have been installed with terminal emulator, such as
Tera Term or PuTTY.
 Serial cable -- one end is attached to the RS232 serial port, while the other
endtotheconsoleportoftheManagedSwitch.
zEthernet Port Connection

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.

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:
zBaud:115200
zParity:None
zDatabits:8
zStopbits:1
zFlowcontrol:None

4.1 Logon 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 Switch. For a detailed descrip-
tion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 inter-
face.
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:
SGS-6341-Series# cong
SGS-6341-Series(cong)# interface vlan 1
SGS-6341-Series(cong-if-Vlan1)# ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

ThepreviouscommandwouldapplythefollowingsettingsfortheManagedSwitch.
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.254
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 “SGS-6341-Series#” prompt, enter “show ip interface brief”.
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param-
eter, enter “help”anytimeinconsoletogetthehelpdescription.

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
1/0/25,thefollowingcommandcongurationisrequired:
SGS-6341-Series#cong
SGS-6341-Series(cong)#interface ethernet 1/0/25
SGS-6341-Series(cong-if-ethernet1/0/25)#speed-duplex force1g-full

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 write command or 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.
