2. Switch Management
To setup the Managed Switch, the user needs to congure the Managed Switch
for network management. The XGS3 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 without IP address assigned by
default. User must assign an IP address to the Managed Switch
viatheConsoleinterface tobeabletoremoteaccessthe Managed
Switch through Telnet or HTTP.
In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by login to the Managed Switch
usingTelnet,HTTP,orusingSNMPmanagementsoftwaretoconguretheManaged
Switch. In-band management enables management of the Managed Switch for
some devices attached to the Switch. Following procedures are required to enable
In-bandmanagement:
1. Logon Console
2.Assign/CongureIPAddress
3. Create a remote login account
4.EnableHTTPorTelnetserverontheManagedSwitch
In the case when 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.

6.CongureIPAddress
The IP address conguration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below.
Before 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 (All switch conguration prompts are assumed to be
“XGS3-24042”hereafterifnototherwisespecied):
XGS3-24042>
XGS3-24042>enable
XGS3-24042# cong
XGS3-24042(cong)# interface vlan 1
XGS3-24042(Cong-if-Vlan1)# ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0
ThepreviouscommandwouldapplythefollowsettingsfortheManagedSwitch.
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

7. Telnet Management
Login to the Telnet conguration 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 conguring and managing the Managed Switch, username
and password for authorized Telnet users must be congured 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
congurationprocedureshouldlikethefollowing:
XGS3-24042>enable
XGS3-24042#cong
XGS3-24042(cong)# username admin privilege 15 password 0 admin
Enter valid login name and password in the Telnet conguration interface, Telnet
user will be able to enter the Managed Switch’s CLI conguration interface. The
commands used in the Telnet CLI interface after login is the same as that in the
Console interface.
