  • Page 4: Connect To The Switch

      Connect to the Switch  Over the Network  By default, the management interface is set to request a DHCP address. If DHCP is available, check your leases on  your DHCP server to determine the IP address of the switch. Using an SSH client, you may log in to the switch over  the network.
  • Page 5: Cli Mode Basics

      CLI Mode Basics  Configuration for the NE1032 is performed through a CLI interface. As a reference:  >​ = unprivileged mode #​ = privileged mode (config)#​ = global configuration mode (config-if)#​ = interface configuration mode (config-vrf)#​ = virtual routing and forwarding configuration mode ...
  • Page 6: Set The Management Ip

      Set the Management IP  The management network should be separated from any data networks and have physically independent hardware  supporting it. The goal of the management network is to maintain remote access to network equipment should a  configuration change interrupt the data networks. Optionally, you may use a VLAN interface instead.    ...

  • Page 11: Logging

      Logging  Troubleshooting relies heavily on inspecting the switch logs. In this example, we are setting logging to debug level  and storing them locally, allocating the maximum size possible for local storage of the logs.  (config)#​ logging logfile switch_log 6 size 10485760 (config)#​...
  • Page 12: Port Configuration

      Port Configuration  By default, all ports are in access mode for VLAN 1. If you are not utilizing VLANs in your environment, you will not  need to configure the VLAN settings for the switch ports further. We recommend isolating backplane ports for Scale  Computing equipment to a VLAN other than 1 using access mode. ...
