RackSwitch G8264T: Installation Guide
At the Password prompt, enter the switch password, and press Enter. The default
password is admin.
The switch software contains default configuration files that are loaded at the
factory. The default configuration is part of the software; it cannot be deleted or
changed. The default settings allow the switch to perform basic functions with
minimal effort by the system administrator.
To manage the switch using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser, you must have an IP
interface. Use DHCP (enabled by default) or manually configure the following IP
parameters:
•
IP address
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway address
1. Log on to the switch.
2. Enter IP interface mode.
RS G8264T> enable
RS G8264T# configure terminal
RS G8264T (config)# interface ip 1
3. Configure an IP interface, subnet mask, and VLAN assignment. Enable the
interface.
RS G8264T (config-ip-if)# ip address 10.10.10.2 (example IP address)
RS G8264T (config-ip-if)# ip netmask 255.255.255.0
RS G8264T (config-ip-if)# vlan 1
RS G8264T (config-ip-if)# enable
RS G8264T (config-ip-if)# exit
4. Configure the default gateway. Enable the gateway.
RS G8264T (config)# ip gateway 1 address 10.10.10.1 (example gateway address)
RS G8264T (config)# ip gateway 1 enable
After you configure the IP address for your switch and you have an existing
network connection, you can use the Telnet program from an external
management station to access and control the switch. The management station
and your switch must be on the same IP subnet.
The G8264T supports a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to configure
and control the switch over the network using the Telnet program. You can use the
CLI to perform many basic network management functions. In addition, you can
configure the switch for management using an SNMP-based network management
system or a Web browser.
For more information about using the CLI, refer to the RackSwitch G8264T
Command Reference.
