2. Switch Management
To setup the Managed Switch, the user needs to congure the Managed Switch
for network management. The XGS3 Managed Switch provides two management
options: Out-of-Band managementandIn-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
conguration,orwhenin-bandmanagementisnotavailable.
IMPORTANT!
The Managed Switch is shipped without IP address assigned by
default. User must assign an IP address to the Managed Switch
viatheConsoleinterface tobeabletoremoteaccessthe Managed
Switch through Telnet or HTTP.
In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by login to the Managed Switch
usingTelnet,HTTP,orusingSNMPmanagementsoftwaretoconguretheManaged
Switch. In-band management enables management of the Managed Switch for
some devices attached to the Switch. Following procedures are required to enable
In-bandmanagement:
1. Logon Console
2.Assign/CongureIPAddress
3. Create a remote login account
4.EnableHTTPorTelnetserverontheManagedSwitch
In the case when in-band management fails due to Managed Switch conguration
changes, out-of-band management can be used for conguring and managing the
ManagedSwitch.

equipments are necessary for further management.

4. Terminal Setup
To congure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or
notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the XGS3 Managed Switch. The
console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already, so that you can connect the
consoleportdirectlythroughPCwithouttheneedofNullModem.

6.CongureIPAddress
The IP address conguration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below.
Before in-band management, the Managed Switch must be congured with an
IP address by out-of-band management (i.e. Console mode), the conguration
commands are as follows (All switch conguration prompts are assumed to be
“XGS3-24042”hereafterifnototherwisespecied):
XGS3-24042>
XGS3-24042>enable
XGS3-24042# cong
XGS3-24042(cong)# interface vlan 1
XGS3-24042(Cong-if-Vlan1)# ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

7. Telnet Management
Login to the Telnet conguration interface. Valid login name and password are
required, otherwise the Managed Switch will reject Telnet access. This is a method
to protect the Managed Switch from unauthorized access. As a result, when
Telnet is enabled for conguring and managing the Managed Switch, username
and password for authorized Telnet users must be congured with the following
command:
username <username> privilege <privilege> [password (0|7)
<password>]
Privilege option must exist and just is 15. Assume an authorized user in the
Managed Switch has a username of “admin”, and password of “admin”, the
congurationprocedureshouldlikethefollowing:
XGS3-24042>enable
XGS3-24042#cong
XGS3-24042(cong)# username admin privilege 15 password 0 admin
Enter valid login name and password in the Telnet conguration interface, Telnet
user will be able to enter the Managed Switch’s CLI conguration interface. The
commands used in the Telnet CLI interface after login is the same as that in the
Console interface.

8. Start Web Management
For conguring the IP address on the Managed Switch through out-of-band
management,seethetelnetmanagementchapter.
To enable the Web conguration, users should type the CLI command IP http
serverintheglobalmodeasbelow:
XGS3-24042>enable
XGS3-24042# cong
XGS3-24042(cong)# ip http server
The Managed Switch provides a built-in browser interface. You can manage it
remotely by having a remote host with Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer,MozillaFirefox,GoogleChromeorAppleSafari.

Note
Please refer to Chapter 5 – CONFIGURE IP ADDRESS for the
IPv4IPaddresssettingontheXGS3ManagedSwitch.
The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed
Switch, please note the Managed Switch is congured through an Ethernet
connection, please make sure the manager PC must be set on the same IP
subnet address.
For example, the IP address of the Managed Switch is congured with
192.168.1.254, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x
is a number between 1 and 253, except 254), and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.

9.SavetheConguration
In switch, the running conguration le stores in the RAM. In the current version,
the running conguration sequence running-cong can be saved from the RAM to
FLASH by write command or copy running-cong startup-congcommand, so
that the running conguration sequence becomes the start up conguration le,
whichiscalledcongurationsave.
