1. Package Contents Thank you for purchasing PLANET Layer 2+ 24-Port 10G SFP+ + 2-Port 40G QSFP+ Managed Switch, XGS-5240-24X2QR. Unless specified, “Managed Switch” mentioned in this Quick Installation Guide refers to the XGS-5240-24X2QR. Open the box of the Managed Switch and carefully unpack it. The box should...
2. Switch Management To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switch for network management. The 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 configuration, or when in-band management is not available.
3. Requirements z Workstations running Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/8/10, MAC OS X or later, Linux, UNIX, or other platforms are compatible with TCP/IP protocols. z Workstations are installed with Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card) z Serial Port Connection (Terminal) The above Workstations come with COM Port (DB9) or USB-to-RS232 converter. The above Workstations have been installed with terminal emulator, such as Tera Term or PuTTY.
4. Terminal Setup To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the Managed Switch. The console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already, so that you can connect the console port directly through PC without the need of Null Modem.
4.1 Logging on to the Console Once the terminal is connected to the device, power on the Managed Switch, and the terminal will display “running testing procedures”. Then, the following message asks for the login user name and password. The factory default user name and password are as follows as the login screen in Figure 4-3 appears.
4.2 Configuring IP Address The IP address configuration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below. Before using in-band management, the Managed Switch must be configured with an IP address by out-of-band management (i.e. console mode). The configuration commands are as follows: Switch# config Switch(config)# interface vlan 1 Switch(config-if-Vlan1))# ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 The previous command would apply the following settings for the Managed Switch.
4.3 Setting 1000BASE-X for 10G SFP+ Port The Managed Switch supports both 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-X SFP transceivers by manual setting and the default SFP+ port speed is set to 10Gbps. For example, to establish the fiber connection with 1000BASE-X SFP transceiver in the Ethernet 1/0/1, the following command configuration is required: Switch# config Switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/0/1 Switch(config-if-ethernet 1/0/1)# speed-duplex force1g-full...
5. Starting Web Management 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, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Managed Switch MGMT RJ45/UTP Cable IP Address: 192.168.1.1 PC/Workstation with Web Browser 192.168.1.x PC/Workstation with...
5.1 Logging in to the Managed Switch from Management Port 1. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.1.1 (that you have just set in console) to access the Web interface. 2. When the following dialog box appears, please enter the configured username “admin” and password “admin” (or the username/password you have changed via console). The login screen in Figure 5-2 appears.
4. The Switch Menu on the left of the Web page lets you access all the commands and statistics the Switch provides. Now, you can use the Web management interface to continue the switch management or manage the Managed Switch by console interface. Please refer to the user manual for more.
To reset the IP address to the default IP address “192.168.0.254” or reset the login password to default value, press the hardware-based reset button on the rear panel for about 10 seconds. After the device is rebooted, you can log in the management Web interface within the same subnet of 192.168.0.xx. MGMT Reset Console Reset Button Figure 6-1: XGS-5240-24X2QR Reset Button...
