Initial Configuration 4.3 Manage the Switch After the initial configuration, you may manage and monitor network activity by CLI or SNMP management, or by using the Web browser utility. 4.3.1 CLI Management The Command Line Interface (CLI) is administered when the terminal is directly connected to the Console port of the switch. This is an out-of-band connection, which means that it is on a different circuit than normal network communications, and thus works even when the network is down.
Initial Configuration 4.3.3 Web Management Use Web Browser Utility to manage and monitor the switch in a user-friendly interface. 4.3.3.1 Access the Web Browser Utility The switch has a Web Browser Utility that you can use to configure the switch. From the Web Browser Utility, the network administrator can monitor, control and manage the switch from a computer on the same local area network (LAN).
Initial Configuration 4.3.3.2 The Web Browser Utility Interface Figure 4-6: The Web Browser Utility Screen Table 4-1: Web Browser Utility Screen Parts Description Menu Click a menu folder to access the submenu functions. Ports Click a port number to view and configure the port. Toggle icon Click to toggle between showing the front and rear panel of the switch. Settings Screen Displays the configurations of the selected menu, submenu or port.
Initial Configuration 5. For SNMP v3 User Configuration, select the SNMP v3 Access Mode, Authentication Protocol, and if necessary enter the Encryption Key. 6. When done, click Submit. The user account is modified or created. NOTE: If you want to completely remove a user account, select the user and click the Delete button on the bottom of the screen.
Initial Configuration Figure 4-8: Example of TFTP Server Screen 4. The switch supports two images. This is to ensure that if one image file fails, another backup is ready for use. Use the “dir” command to check if the image files exist. If the switch already contains 2 images, you need to remove one of the images and use the “delete <image name>” command to delete the non-startup image. Figure 4-9: Delete Image Screen Sample 5.
Initial Configuration 4.4.2 Upgrade Kernel, Uboot and Rootfs After upgrading the firmware image file, check if there is a need to upgrade the kernel, uboot, and root file system. To determine whether an upgrade is necessary, perform the following: 1. Boot to normal mode and execute the “whichboot” command to check the switch kernel and uboot versions. Figure 4-12: Check Version Screen Sample 2.
Initial Configuration Figure 4-14: Example of TFTP Server Screen 4. Reboot the switch. 5. When the switch boots up, and the “Hit any key to stop autoboot” message is displayed, press any key to stop autoboot. Figure 4-15: 6. On the “=>” prompt, use the following commands to download uboot, kernel, and rootfs image files: “copy -b tftp://<server ip addr>/<uboot filename>”...
