Initial Configuration Procedure; Example Session - D-Link DES-3226L User Manual

The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After the initial
configuration, you can manage the switch either from the already-connected console port or
remotely through an interface defined during the initial configuration.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Before setting up the initial configuration of the switch, obtain the following information from
your network administrator:
The IP address to be assigned to the management interface through which the switch is
managed.
The IP subnet mask for the network.
The IP address of the default gateway.

Initial Configuration Procedure

You can perform the initial configuration using the D-Link Easy Setup Wizard or by using the
Command Line Interface (CLI). The Setup Wizard automatically starts when the switch
configuration file is empty. You can exit the wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z]. The
wizard sets up the following configuration on the switch:
Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The wizard config-
ures one privileged user account during the set up.
Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only.
Sets up the IP address for the management interface.
Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at a given IP
address. You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this
switch.
Allows you to specify the management server IP or permit SNMP access from all IP
addresses.
Configures the default gateway IP address.

Example Session

This section describes an Easy Setup Wizard session. The following values are used by the
example session:
IP address for the management interface is 192.168.1.100:255.255.255.0.
The user name is admin, and no password is needed. Type in admin and press Enter.
The network management system IP address is 192.168.1.10.
The default gateway is 192.168.1.1.
The setup wizard configures the initial values as defined above. After you complete the
wizard, the system is configured as follows:
SNMPv1/2c is enabled and the community string is set up as defined above. SNMPv3 is
disabled by default.
The admin user account is set up as defined.
The switch is not configured with a default user name and password.
All of the settings below are necessary to allow the remote management of the switch
through Telnet (Telnet client) or HTTP (Web browser).
