Chapter 1 Using Command Line Interface - D-Link DGS-1510/ME Series Reference Manual

Chapter 1
The Switch can be managed through the Switch's serial port, Telnet, SNMP or the Web-based management agent.
The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the Switch via the serial port or Telnet
interfaces.
This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI. Every command will be introduced
in terms of purpose, format, description, parameters, and examples. Configuration and management of the Switch
via the Web-based management agent are discussed in the Web UI Reference Guide. For detailed information on
installing hardware please also refer to the Hardware Installation Guide.
1-1 Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch's serial port's default settings are as follows:
• 115200 baud
• no parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100 terminal and a serial port
configured as above are then connected to the Switch's Console port via an included RS-232 to RJ-45 convertor
cable.
With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible. If this
screen does not appear, try pressing Ctrl+r to refresh the console screen.

There is no initial username or password. Just press the Enter key twice to display the CLI input cursor − DGS-
1510-28XMP/ME:admin#. This is the command line where all commands are input.
1-2 Setting the Switch's IP Address
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network
manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90.
You can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can
be found on the initial boot console screen – shown below.
