To enable remote management of the switch through telnet, a Web browser, or SNMP, you must connect the switch to the
network. The default IP address/subnet mask of the switch management interface is 10.90.90.90/255.0.0.0 and DHCP is
disabled on the switch. So you must either connect the switch to a 10.0.0.0 network or you must provide appropriate network
parameters, such as the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway by connecting to the switch command line interface
(CLI) using the terminal interface via the EIA 232 port. You can manually configure the network parameters or enable the
DHCP client on the switch to get those via DHCP.
After you configure network information, such as the IP address and subnet mask, and the switch is physically and logically
connected to the network, you can manage and monitor the switch remotely through SSH, telnet, a Web browser, or an
SNMP-based network management system. You can also continue to manage the switch through the terminal interface via
the EIA-232 port.
To connect to the switch and configure or view network information, use the following steps:
1 Using a straight-through modem cable, connect a VT100/ANSI terminal or a workstation to the console (serial) port.
If you attached a PC, Apple
TeraTerm.
2 Configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following settings:
- Baud rate: 115200 bps
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: none
- Stop bit: 1
- Flow control: none
3 Power on the switch.
4 Press the return key, and the User: prompt appears.
Enter admin as the user name. There is no default password. Press ENTER at the password prompt if you did not
change the default password.
After a successful login, the screen shows the system prompt(DWS-4026)>.
5 At the (DWS-4026)> prompt, enter enable to enter the Privileged EXEC command mode. There is no default password
to enter Privileged EXEC mode. Press ENTER at the password prompt if you did not change the default password.
The command prompt changes to (DWS-4026)#.
6 Configure network information.
- To use a DHCP server to obtain the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway information, enter:
network protocol dhcp.
- To manually configure the IPv4 address, subnet mask, and (optionally) default gateway, enter:
network parms <ipaddress> <netmask> [<gateway>],
