Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 1 Introduction This document is designed to provide Supermicro Switch users with the information required to configure the basic functionalities on the switch through the Command Line Interface (CLI). The Supermicro Switch command line interface is accessible through an RS232 console port, or viaTelnet and SSH connections.
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 2 Basic Configurations 2.1 Console Port Switch Console Port SSE-G24-TG4 These switches have a DB9 RS232 console port. Use the serial cable provided with the switch to connect the switch console port SSE-G48-TG4 to any computer COM port.
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 2.2 Management IP Address The default management IP address for all Supermicro switch products is: 192.168.100.102. Switch Management IP Interface SSE-G24-TG4 The management IP is configured for VLAN 1. All front 1G ports and back 10G ports are configured as untagged member ports SSE-G48-TG4 of VLAN 1 by default.
For example: SMIS(config)# ip gateway 172.31.1.1 For other switches (SSE-G24-TG4 and SSE-G48-TG4) you can add the required route to access the gateway for a desired network. The route can be added using the command ip route <prefix> <mask> {<next hop> | vlan <id> | interface }.
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 2.3 User Accounts The default administrative user name for all Supermicro switches is ADMIN and the password for all these switches is also ADMIN. The password for this ADMIN user can be changed using the command username ADMIN password <new password>.
MTU for 10Gig ports is 16338. The Supermicro switch MTU refers only to the layer 2 payload size. Hence the MTU of 9202 means a total “in-wire” MTU of 9220 (14 bytes Ethernet Header plus 4 bytes FCS are added).
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 2.6 Configuring Interface Range To configure the same parameters on multiple interfaces, the interface range command can be useful. For example, to configure the MTU as 9000 for all gi 0/1 to gi 0/24 ports, using the range command allows all to be configured in one sequence instead of requiring that they be configured on the individual interfaces 24 times.
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 2.7 Stacking SSE-G24-TG4 and SSE-G48-TG4 switches support stacking up to 16 switches. SBM-GEM-X2C and SBM-GEM-X2C+ switches support stacking up to 8 switches. Function Command Syntax Examples Enable stack { priority {PM | BM | PS} }...
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 2.8 Tracking Uplink Failure The Uplink Failure Tracking Feature (ULFT) is useful for blade switches (SBM-GEM-X2C, SBM- GEM-X2C+, SBM-GEM-X3S+ and SBM-XEM-X10SM). This helps blade servers to move to redundant Ethernet ports in case any blade switch uplink fails.
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 2.9 Saving Configurations Switch configurations can be saved using the command write startup-config. A configuration saved as a default configuration will be loaded automatically every time the switch reboots. Function Command Syntax Examples Save the configuration as...
Make sure the TFTP server is running on the computer where the firmware image is available. 2.11 Resetting to Factory Defaults Supermicro switches can be reset to factory defaults using the CLI command reset-to-factory- default. Function Command Syntax...
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide 3 VLAN Configurations The SSE-G24-TG4, SSE-G48-TG4, SBM-GEM-X2C, SBM-GEM-X2C+ and SBM-GEM-X3S+ switches all support 1024 static VLANs. The SSE-X24S and SBM-XEM-X10SM switches support 4K static VLANs. The below table describes the basic VLAN configuration commands.
Supermicro Switch Quick Configuration CLI Guide Supermicro switches associate all untagged packets received as VLAN 1. This happens irrespective of the VLANs associated with the received ports. Therefore if you need untagged packets to be associated with a particular VLAN of the ports, it is necessary to configure a pvid for the ports.
