2.5.1 10/100/1000BaseT Ports Cabling Procedures
The 10/100/1000 ports on the switch allow for the connection of 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, or 1000BaseT network
devices. The ports are compatible with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards.
Important: The switch must be located within 100 meters of its attached 10BaseT or 100BaseTX devices.
Use the following guidelines to determine the cabling requirements for the network devices:
• Connecting to Network Station: Category 5 UTP (Unshielded Twisted-Pair) straight-through cable (100 m
maximum) with RJ-45 connectors
• Connecting to Repeater/Hub/Switch’s Uplink port: Category 5, UTP straight-through cable (100 m maximum)
with RJ-45 connectors
Note: These switches have no specific uplink ports. All 10/100/1000 ports on these switches are auto-sensing
MDI/MDI-X. This advanced feature means that when the ports are operating at 10/100Mbps, they will automatically
17 Asante IC3724PWR User’s Manual
determine whether the device at the other end of the link is a hub, switch, or workstation, and adjust its signals
accordingly. No crossover cables are required.
Although 10/100BaseT requires only pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, yo u should use cables with all eight wires connected as
shown in Table 2-2 below.
1000BaseT requires that all four pairs (8 wires) be connected correctly, using Category 5 or better Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cable (to a distance of 100 meters). Table 2-2 shows the correct pairing of all eight wires.

3.5 Restoring Factory Defaults
To restore the switch to its factory default settings, follow the commands shown in the following screen.
COMMAND> enable
Switch# clear config
Switch# save
Important: To retain configuration changes after a system reload you must save changes made in running
configuration. From the privileged level, configurations can be saved using the save command.
The switch is ready for configuration. Refer to the following chapters for management and configuration information.

Chapter 4: Understanding the Command Line Interface (CLI)
The switch utilizes Command Line Interface (CLI) to provide access to several different command modes. Each
command mode provides a group of related commands. In general, after typing a command name, always press
‘enter’ to start the execution of the command.
After logging into the system, you are automatically in the user top (user EXEC) mode. Fr om the user top mode you
can enter into the privileged top (privileged EXEC) mode. From the privileged EXEC level, you can access the global
configuration mode and specific configuration modes: interface and Switch configuration. Entering a question mark
(?) at the system prompt provides a list of commands available for each command mode.
Document Conventions
Command descriptions use the following conventions:
• Vertical bars ( | ) separate alternative, mutually exclusive, elements
• Braces ({ }) indicate a required choice
• Boldface indicates commands and keywords that are entered literally as shown
• Italics indicate arguments for which you supply values
Access Each Command Mode
The following sections describe how to access each of the CLI command modes:
• User Top Mode: COMMAND>
• Privileged Top Mode: Switch#
• Global Configuration Mode: Switch(config)#
• Interface Configuration Mode: Switch(interface #)#
4.1 User Top (User EXEC) Mode
After you log in to the Switch, you are automatically in user top (user EXEC) command mode. The user-level prompt
consists of the ‘COMMAND’ followed by the angle bracket (>):
24 Asante IC3724PWR User’s Manual
COMMAND>
The user top commands available at the user level are a subset of those available at the privileg ed level. In general,
the user top commands allow you ping remote hosts and show port statistics.
To list the commands available in user top mode, enter a question mark (?). Use a space and a question mark (?)
after entering a command to see all the options for that particular command.
Command Purpose
?
show ?
User top commands:
COMMAND> ?
Help Displays Help information
? Displays Help information
logout Exit
ping Pings a remote host
show Display commands
enable Enter XCLI interface
You may also enter a question mark after a letter or string of letters to view all the commands that start with that letter
(with no space between the letter and the question mark). Please note that there is no help on the argum ents after a
command is typed.
Lists the user EXEC commands.
Lists all the options available for the given command.
Use ‘logout’ to logout from the switch.
4.2 Privileged Top (Privileged EXEC) Mode
Because many of the privileged commands set the system configuration parameters, privileged access can be
password protected to prevent unauthorized use. The privileged command set includes those commands contained
in user EXEC mode, as well as the configure command through which you can access the remaining command
modes. The following example shows how to access privileged EXEC mode. Notice the prompt changes from
COMMAND> to Switch#:
To execute a command, the command and its arguments or key words must be entered in their entirety. However, a
partially typed command, argument or key word can be completed by pressing the ‘tab’ key.

4.3 Global Configuration Mode
Global configuration commands apply to features that affect the system as a whole, rather than just one protocol or
interface. Commands to enable a particular routing function are also global configuration commands. To enter the
global configuration mode, use the configure command.
The following example shows how to access and exit global configuration mode and list global configur ation
commands.
Command Purpose
Switch# configuration
Switch(config)# ?
To exit global configuration command mode and return to privileged EXEC mode, use one of the following
commands:
Command Purpose
exit
To list the commands available in global configuration mode, enter a question mark (?) at the prompt, as shown in the
following example. Enter a question mark (?) after a specific command to see all the options for that command.
Switch(Config)# ?
From privileged EXEC mode, enters global configuration mode.
Lists the global configuration commands.
Exits global configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

From global configuration mode, you can access three additional configurat ion modes: Use the interface command
to access its configuration modes.
4.3.1 Interface Configuration Mode
Many features are enabled on a per-interface basis. Interface configuration commands modify the operation of an
interface such as an Ethernet or serial port. Interface configuration commands always follow an interface global
configuration command, which defines the interface type as Ethernet.
In the following example shows configuration of Ethernet interface 1. The new prompt, Switch(interface 1)#,
indicates the interface configuration mode. In this example, the user asks for help by requesting a list of commands.

Switch(Interface 1)#
To exit interface configuration mode and return to global configuration mode, enter the exit command. To exit
configuration mode and return to top mode, use the exit command.
4.4 Advanced Features Supported within the Command Mode
Enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to display a list of commands available for each command mode. You
can also get a list of any command's associated keywords and arguments with the context-sensitive help feature.
29 Asante IC3724PWR User’s Manual
To get help specific to a command mode, a command, a keyword, or an argument, perform one of the following
commands:
Command Purpose
Help
?
Obtain a brief description of the help system in any command mode.
List all commands available for a particular command mode.
When using context-sensitive help, the space (or lack of a space) before the question mark (?) is significant. To
obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, type in those characters followed
immediately by the question mark (?). Do not include a space. This form of help is word help, because it completes a
word for you.
To list keywords or arguments, enter a question mark (?) in place of a keyword or argument. Include a space before
the question mark (?). This form of help is command syntax help, because it reminds you which keywords or
arguments are applicable based on the command, keywords, and arguments you already have entered.
Example of Context Sensitive Help
The following example illustrates how the context-sensitive help feature creates an acc ess list from the configuration
mode.
Enter the letters “co” at the system prompt followed by a question mark (?). Do not leave a space between the last
letter and the question mark (?). The system provides the commands that begin with co.
Switch# co?
configuration Enter configuration mode
copy Copy from one file to another
Switch# co
Enter the configure command followed by a space and a question mark (?) to list the command’s keyword(s) and a
brief explanation:
Switch# configuration ?
<cr>
Note that in the example below, if you enter the ip command followed by the Return Key or Enter, the system returns
the prompt that the command is incomplete.
Switch# copy
% Invalid command input
Switch#
