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/7/8/2008/10, 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.
5. Logon 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 5-1 appears.
6. 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: SGS-6340-48T4S# config SGS-6340-48T4S(config)# interface vlan 1 SGS-6340-48T4S(config-if-Vlan1)# ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 The previous command would apply the follow settings for the Managed Switch.
7. Setting 100BASE-FX for SFP Port (SGS-6340- 20S4C4X Only) The Managed Switch supports both 1000BASE-X and 100BASE-FX SFP transceiver by manual setting and the default SFP port speed is set to 1000Mbps. To establish the fiber connection with 100BASE-FX SFP transceiver, the following command configuration is required: SGS-6340-20S4C4X#config SGS-6340-20S4C4X(config)#interface ethernet 1/0/1-20 SGS-6340-20S4C4X(config-if-port-range)#speed-duplex force100-fx module-type auto-detected SGS-6340-20S4C4X(config-if-port-range)#exit...
8. Setting 1000BASE-X for SFP+ Port (SGS-6340-16XR, SGS-6340-20S4C4X Only) The Managed Switch supports both 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-X SFP transceiver 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: SGS-6340-16XR#config SGS-6340-16XR(config)#interface ethernet 1/0/1 SGS-6340-16XR(config-if-ethernet1/0/1)#speed-duplex force1g-full Figure 8-1 Setting 1000BASE-FX Screen...
9. Using Copper Interface on Combo Port (SGS-6340- 20S4C4X Only) The Managed Switch’s combo port has SFP and copper interface and the default combo port type is SFP port only. To establish the combo port connection with copper interface, the following command configuration is required: SGS-6340-20S4C4X #config SGS-6340-20S4C4X (config)#interface ethernet 1/0/21-24 SGS-6340-20S4C4X (config-if-port-range)#media-type copper Figure 9-1 Using Copper Interface Screen...
10. Saving the Configuration In Managed Switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running configuration sequence running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by write command or copy running-config startup- config command, so that the running configuration sequence becomes the start-up configuration file, which is called configuration save. SGS-6340-48T4S# copy running-config startup-config Figure 10-1 Copying Running-config Startup-config Screen...
11. 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. PC / Workstation with Web Browser 192.168.0.x Managed Switch RJ45/UTP Cable IP Address: 192.168.0.100 Figure 11-1 IP Management Diagram The following shows how to start-up the Web Management of the Managed...
12. Logging in to the Managed Switch 1. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser and enter IP address http://192.168.1.254 (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 11-1 appears. Figure 12-1 Login Screen 3. After entering the password, the main screen appears as shown in Figure 12-2.
13. Saving Configuration via the Web In the Managed Switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running configuration sequence of running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by “Save current running-configurations” function, so that the running configuration sequence becomes the startup configuration file, which is called configuration save. To save all applied changes and set the current configuration as a startup configuration, the startup-configuration file will be loaded automatically across a system reboot.
