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.
The Managed Switch is shipped with 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.

3. Requirements
zWorkstationsrunningWindowsXP/2003/Vista/2008/7/8/10/11, MACOSXor
later,Linux,UNIX,orotherplatformsarecompatiblewithTCP/IPprotocols.
zWorkstationsareinstalledwithEthernetNIC(NetworkInterfaceCard)
zSerial Port Connection(Terminal)
 The above Workstations come with COM Port (DB9) or USB-to-RS232
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
Network cables -- Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connec-
tors.
TheabovePCisinstalledwithWebbrowser
It is recommended to use Google Chrome or above to access
the Managed Switch. If the Web interface of the Managed
Switch is not accessible, please turn off the anti-virus software
orfirewallandthentryitagain.

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

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 Switch. For a detailed
descriptionofthecommands,pleaserefertothefollowingchapters.
Forsecurityreason, please change and memorizethenewpass-
wordafterthisfirstsetup.
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_v1#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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4-5.
Figure 4-5 Showing IP Information Screen

10
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.
If you are not familiar with console command or the related
parameter, 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 in the
ber auto mode,sotheend-usercanplugthetransceiverdirectly.
In another example, the end-user has to force 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-ethernet1/0/1)#media-type ber-1g
Figure 4-6 Setting 1000BASE-FX 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 write command, so that the running
conguration sequence becomes the start-up conguration le, which is called
congurationsave.

The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed
Switch. Please note the Managed Switch is congured through an Ethernet
connection. Please make sure the manager PC must be set to the same IP
subnet address.
For example, the IP address of the Managed Switch is congured with
192.168.0.254 on Interface VLAN 1,then the manager PC should be set to
192.168.0.x(wherexisanumberbetween2and253, except1or254),and
thedefaultsubnetmaskis255.255.255.0.
Thefactorydefaultusernameandpasswordareasfollows:

5.2 SavingCongurationviatheWeb
Theconguration area istoshowthecontentthatis selected in the navigation
area. The conguration area always contains one or more buttons, such as
“Apply”and“Delete”.
The “Apply” button indicates applying the modied conguration to
the device. The application of the conguration does not mean that the
congurationissavedinthecongurationle.
To save the conguration, you have to click “Save” on the top control bar.
“Save”functionisequivalenttotheexecutionofthewritecommand.
