GigaX Series L3 Managed Switch User Guide

3 Quick start guide

This section provides the basic instructions to set up the GigaX
environment. Refer also to the GigaX Series Installation Guide.

Part 1 shows you how to install the GigaX on a flat surface or on a
rack.

Part 2 provides instructions to set up the hardware.
Part 3 shows you how to configure basic settings on the GigaX.

Obtain the following inf orma tion fro m your net work ad ministrat or bef ore
proceeding:

IP address for the switch
Default gateway for the network
Network mask for this network

3.1 Part 1 — Installing the hardware

Connect the device to the power outlet, and your computer or network.
Figure 4 illustrates the hardware connections.

3.1.1 Installing the switch on a flat surface

The switch should be installed on a level surface that can supp ort the
weight of the switches and their accessories. Attach four rubber pads on
the marked location on the bottom of t he switch.

3.1.2 Mounting the switch on a rack

1. Attach brackets to each side of the switch and make the posts insert
to the switch.

2. Insert and tighten two screws to securely attach the bracket to the
rack on each side.

19

3.2 Part 2 — Setting up the switch

Connect the device to the power outlet, and your computer or network. See
Figure 4.

3.2.1 Connect the console port

For console management, use an RS232 (DB9) or a USB cable to
connect the switch. If you want to use WEB interface, connect your PC
to the switch using the Ethernet cable.

3.2.2 Connect to the computers or a LAN

You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers dire ctly to the switch
ports. You can also conne ct hubs/ switch es to the switch po rts by Et hernet
cables. You can use either the crossover or straight -through Ethernet cable
to connect computers, hubs, or switches.

Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the
1000BASE-T port. Otherwise, the link speed can not reach
1Gbps.

3.2.3 Attach the RPS module

Connect your RPS module to the RPS jack and make sure the other end of
the RPS is connected to the power cord. Connect to the power cord to a
grounded power outlet.

3.2.4 Attach the power adapter

1. Connect the AC power cord to the POWER receptacle on the back
of the switch and plug the other end of the power cord into a wall
outlet or a power strip.

2. Check the front LED indicators with the descri ption in Table 4. If the
LEDs light up as described, the switch hardware is working
properly.

3.3 Part 3 — Basic switch setting for

management

After completing the hardware connections, configure the basic settings for
your switch. You can manage the switch using the following methods:

• Web i nterface: the switch has a set o f pages to allow you to man age it
using Java

®

-enabled IE5.0 or higher version.

• Command Line Interface: use console port to manage the switch.

3.3.1 Setting up through the console port

1. Use the supplied crossover RS-232 cable to connect to the console
port on the front of the switch. This port is a male DB-9 connector,
implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connection.
Tighten the retaining screws on the cable to secure it on the
connector. Connect the other end of the cable to a PC running
terminal emulation software. e.g Hyper Terminal.

2. Use the supplied USB cable to connect t o a PC. You have to install
the USB driver from the switch CD-ROM before the USB can work
properly. The USB drivers will simulate an additional COM port
under Windows ME/2K/XP OS.

22

GigaX Series L3 Managed Switch User Guide

3. Make sure the settings of your terminal emulation software as
follows:

a) Choose the appropriate serial port number
b) Set the data baud rate to 9600
c) Set the data format to no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit
d) No flow control
e) Set VT1000 for emulation mode

4. After setting up the terminal, you can see the prompt “(ASUS)%” on
the terminal.

5. Type “login” to access the command line interface. The default u ser
name is “admin”. Skip the password by pressing <Enter>.

You can change the password at any time through CLI (see
section 5.3.1). To protect your switch from unauthorized

6. Follow these steps to assign an IP address to the switch:

a) Type “l3 interface ip sw0 <your ip address> <your network

mask>”. For example, if your switch IP is 192.168.10.1 and the
network mask is 255.255.255.0. Then you should type “l3
interface ip sw0 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0”.

access, you must change the default password as soon as
possible.

b) If the switch has to be managed across networks, then a

default gateway or a static route entry is required. Type “l3
route static add 0.0.0.0 <your network gateway IP> 0.0.0.0 1”
as your default route entry, as shown in Figure 5.

23

GigaX Series L3 Managed Switch User Guide

3.3.2 Setting up through the Web interface

To successfully connect your PC to the switch, your PC must a valid IP in
your network. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP for the
switch. If you wish to change the def ault IP ad dress of t he switch, f ollo w
section 3.3.1 to change the IP ad dress. Si nce the switch do es not sup port
DHCP client function, a valid static IP for the switch is necessary to use
Web interface.

1. It is not necessary to login Web interface at the first time to use Web
interface because the default configuration for Web access
authentication is disabled. To secure the system configuration,
please enable the authentication function at the “Administration”
page under “System” category. Skip step 2 if the authentication is
disabled.

2. At any PC connected to the network that the switch can acce ss ,
open your Web browser (Internet Explorer), and type the following
URL in the address/location box, and press <Enter>:

http://192.168.1.1

This is the factory default IP address of the switch.
A login screen appears, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6. Login Screen

Enter your user name and password, and then click

to enter
the Configuration Manager. Use the foll owing def aults the first ti me
you log into this interface:

Default User Name: admin
Default Password: (no password)

You can change the password at any time (see section

5.3.1 System Commands).

3. To setup a new IP address, click “System”, then “IP Setup” (see
Figure 7). Fill in the IP address, network mask and default gateway,

then click

.

4. If your new address is different from the default, the browser can not
update the switch status window or retrieve any page. This is
normal. You have to retype the new IP address in the
address/location box, and press <Enter>. The WEB link returns.

5. To enable authentication for Web access, click “Administration” on
the menu list, then select “Enabled” to start the protection.

A login window appears i mmedi ately afte r you cl ick
