Introduction - D-Link xStack DES-3528 Series Cli Reference Manual

xStack® DES-3528/DES-3552 Series Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Reference Guide
I
NTRODUCTION
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.
The DES-3528/DES-3552 Series Layer 2 stackable Fast Ethernet Switch Series are members of the D-Link xStack
family. Ranging from 10/100Mbps edge Switches to core gigabit Switches, the xStack Switch family has been future-
proof designed to provide a stacking architecture with fault tolerance, flexibility, port density, robust security and
maximum throughput with a user-friendly management interface for the networking professional.
This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI for the xStack
3528P, DES-3528DC, DES-3552 and DES-3552P series of Switches. Configuration and management of the Switch
via the Web-based management agent is discussed in the User's Guide.
NOTE: For the remainder of this manual, all versions of the DES-3528, DES-3528P, DES-3528DC,
DES-3552 and DES-3552P Switches will be referred to as simply the Switch or the DES-3528/52
Series.
Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch's serial port's default settings are as follows:
•
115200 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 are 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 to refresh the console screen.

There is no initial username or password. Just press the Enter key twice to display the CLI input cursor − DES-
3528: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. Users 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.
