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.
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. Log on 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.
Important
The Managed Switch is shipped with Management Port IP address
192.168.1.1/24 assigned and VLAN1 interface 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.

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.

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

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
Switch(cong)# interface vlan 1
Switch(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
To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Managed
Switch,pleaseusetheproceduresasfollows:
Show the current IP address
1. On “Switch#”prompt,enter“show ip interface brief”.
2.The screen displays the current IP address, subnet mask and gateway as shown
inFigure4-4.
Figure 4-4: 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10GSFP+Port
The Managed Switch supports both 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-X SFP
transceivers 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 1/0/1,thefollowingcommandcongurationisrequired:
Switch# cong
Switch(cong)# interface ethernet 1/0/1
Switch(cong-if-ethernet1/0/1)# speed-duplex force1g-full
Switch(cong-if-ethernet1/0/1)# exit
4.4 Changing Password
The default password of the switch is “admin”. For security reason, it is
recommended to change password and the following command conguration is
required:
Switch# cong
Switch(cong)# username admin password planet2018
Switch(cong)#
4.5 SavingtheConguration
In the 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.
Switch# copy running-cong startup-cong
