Introduction - D-Link DES-3852 - xStack Switch - Stackable Cli Manual

xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Manual
The DES-3800 series is a member of the D-Link xStack switch family. xStack is a complete family of stackable devices that ranges
from edge 10/100Mbps switches to core Gigabit switches. xStack provides unsurpassed performance, fault tolerance, scalable
flexibility, robust security, standard-based interoperability and an impressive support for 10Gigabit technology to future-proof
departmental and enterprise network deployments with an easy migration path.
The Switch can be managed through the Switch's serial port, Telnet, or the Web-based management agent. The Command Line
Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the Switch via the serial port or Telnet interfaces.
This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI. Configuration and management of the Switch via the
Web-based management agent is discussed in the Manual.
Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch's serial port's default settings are as follows:
•
9600 baud
•
no parity
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100 terminal and a serial port configured as above is
then connected to the Switch's serial port via an RS-232 DB-9 cable.
With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible. If this screen does not
appear, try pressing Ctrl+r o refresh the console screen.
There is no initial username or password. Just press the Enter key twice to display the CLI input cursor − DES-3800:admin#. This is
the command line where all commands are input.
Setting the Switch's IP Address
Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network manager or other
TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90. You can change the default Switch
IP address to meet the specification of your networking address scheme.
The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, and can be found on the
initial boot console screen – shown below.
