Limited Warranty Statement: SMC Networks, Inc. (“SMC”) warrants its products
to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and
service, for the applicable warranty term. All SMC products carry a standard 90-day
limited warranty from the date of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller.
SMC may, at its own discretion, repair or replace any product not operating as
warranted with a similar or functionally equivalent product, during the applicable
warranty term. SMC will endeavor to repair or replace any product returned under
warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by
registering new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized
Reseller. Registration can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration
card or online via the SMC web site. Failure to register will not affect the standard
limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime warranty covers a product during the Life of
that Product, which is defined as the period of time during which the product is an
“Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be “Active” while it is listed on
the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older technologies become
obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its product line
with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete
product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of
discontinued products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found
at:
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=customer_service_warranty.
All products that are replaced become the property of SMC. Replacement products
may be either new or reconditioned. Any replaced or repaired product carries
either a 30-day limited warranty or the remainder of the initial warranty, whichever
is longer. SMC is not responsible for any custom software or firmware,
configuration information, or memory data of Customer contained in, stored on, or
integrated with any products returned to SMC pursuant to any warranty. Products
returned to SMC should have any customer-installed accessory or add-on
components, such as expansion modules, removed prior to returning the product
for replacement. SMC is not responsible for these items if they are returned with the
product.
Customers must contact SMC for a Return Material Authorization number prior to
returning any product to SMC. Proof of purchase may be required. Any product
returned to SMC without a valid Return Material Authorization (RMA) number
clearly marked on the outside of the package will be returned to customer at
customer’s expense. For warranty claims within North America, please call our
toll-free customer support number at [phone]. Customers are responsible for
all shipping charges from their facility to SMC. SMC is responsible for return
shipping charges from SMC to customer.

Connecting to the Switch
Configuration Options
The TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 includes a built-in network
management agent. The agent offers a variety of management
options, including SNMP, RMON and a Web-based interface. A PC
may also be connected directly to the switch for configuration and
monitoring via a command line interface (CLI).
Note: The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by
default. To change this address, see “Setting an IP Address”
on page 1-7.
The switch’s HTTP Web agent allows you to configure switch
parameters, monitor port connections, and display statistics
graphically using a standard Web browser such as Netscape
Navigator version 6.2 and higher or Microsoft IE version 5.0 and
higher. The switch’s Web management interface can be accessed
from any computer attached to the network.
The switch’s management agent is based on SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the
switch to be managed from any system in the network using
management software.
The CLI program can be accessed by a direct connection to the
RS-232 serial console port on the switch, or remotely by a Telnet
connection over the network.

Required Connections
The switch provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a
connection to a PC or terminal for monitoring and configuring the
switch. A null-modem console cable is provided with the switch.
Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal
emulation program to the switch. You can use the console cable
provided with this package, or use a null-modem cable that
complies with the wiring assignments shown in Appendix C.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following
steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a
PC running terminal emulation software, and tighten the
captive retaining screws on the DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on
the switch.
3. Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM
port 2).
• Set the data rate to 9600 baud.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• Set flow control to none.
• Set the emulation mode to VT100.
• When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not
Windows keys.

Note: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft®Windows®
2000, make sure that you have Windows 2000 Service Pack
2 or later installed. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the
problem of arrow keys not functioning in HyperTerminal’s
VT100 emulation. See www.microsoft.com for information
on Windows 2000 service packs.
4. Once you have set up the terminal correctly, the console login
screen will be displayed.
Note: Refer to “Line Commands” on page 3-80 for a complete
description of console configuration options.
For a description of how to use the CLI, see “Using the Command
Line Interface” on page 3-1. For a list of all the CLI commands and
detailed information on using the CLI, refer to “Command Groups”
on page 3-12.
Remote Connections
Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network
connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway using a console connection,
DHCP or BOOTP protocol.
The IP address for this switch is assigned via DHCP by default. To
manually configure this address or enable dynamic address
assignment via DHCP or BOOTP, see “Setting an IP Address” on
page 1-7.
Note: This switch supports four concurrent Telnet sessions.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the
onboard configuration program from anywhere within the
attached network. The onboard configuration program can be
accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web

browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 6.2
or above), or from a network computer using network
management software.
Note: The onboard program only provides access to basic
configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP
management functions, you must use SNMP-based network
management software.
Basic Configuration
Console Connection
The CLI program provides two different command levels —
normal access level (Normal Exec) and privileged access level
(Privileged Exec). The commands available at the Normal Exec
level are a limited subset of those available at the Privileged Exec
level and allow you to only display information and use basic
utilities. To fully configure switch parameters, you must access the
CLI at the Privileged Exec level.
Access to both CLI levels are controlled by user names and
passwords. The switch has a default user name and password for
each level. To log into the CLI at the Privileged Exec level using
the default user name and password, perform these steps:
1. To initiate your console connection, press <Enter>. The “User
Access Verification” procedure starts.
2. At the Username prompt, enter “admin.”
3. At the Password prompt, also enter “admin.” (The password
characters are not displayed on the console screen.)
4. The session is opened and the CLI displays the “Console#”
prompt indicating you have access at the Privileged Exec level.

Setting Passwords
Note: If this is your first time to log into the CLI program, you
should define new passwords for both default user names
using the “username” command, record them and put them
in a safe place.
Passwords can consist of up to eight alphanumeric characters and
are case sensitive. To prevent unauthorized access to the switch,
set the passwords as follows:
1. Open the console interface with the default user name and
password “admin” to access the Privileged Exec level.
2. Type “configure” and press <Enter>.
3. Type “username guest password 0 password,” for the Normal
Exec level, where password is your new password. Press
<Enter>.
4. Type “username admin password 0 password,” for the
Privileged Exec level, where password is your new password.
Press <Enter>.
