Introduction

The Business Ethernet Switch 100 and 200 series switches are used in small and medium business (SMB) applications. The BES100/200 series is a family of 1U rack mountable Ethernet switches capable of supporting wire speed connections on 24 or 48 fast Ethernet ports. These products are designed to be either rack-mounted or physically stacked on a bench.

All BES100/200 series switches are equipped with two 10/100/1000 Mb/s copper ports, a serial port, and SNMP and Web management interfaces compatible with both the BEM and a simple Web browser. Up to four BES200 Series switches can be connected together using stacking ports and accessed through a single Web user interface screen.

The BES100/200 family is not equipped with DHCP client. Instead, BOOTP is invoked at startup to obtain an IP address for the user interface. If the solution provider wishes to conﬁgure the user interface IP address manually, they can power the BES without BOOTP server present and browse to the factory default address for the user interface.

Using the Web-based user interface

Use the information in this chapter to understand how to use the Web-based user interface to view and conﬁgure information about the BES100 and BES200 Series switches.

Prerequisites for using the Web-based user interface

To use the Web-based user interface, you need the following items:

•

a computer connected to a network port that is a member of the management VLAN

•

the following Web browser or one of the following Web engines installed on the computer :

— Windows 95™, Windows 98™, Windows 2000™, Windows XP™, or

Windows NT™ 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3, rv:1.7.5, and UNIX installed on the computer

— Internet Explorer™ 6.0 and later

ATTENTION

Web browser capabilities such as page bookmarking, refresh, and page forward and page back, function as they would in any other Web site. However,these capabilities do not enhance the functionality of the Web-based user interface. Nortel recommends that you use only the navigation tools provided in the management interface.

•

IP address of the BES100 or BES200 Series switches. For information about setting the IP address of the switch, see "Conﬁguring initial

settings by using the Quick Start feature" (page 31).

ATTENTION

To use some of the BES100 or BES200 Series switch Web-based user functionality, such as downloading software, you must connect your TFTP server to a BES100 or BES200 Series switch.

BootP Request Mode

—End—

Choose from:

•

BootP or Default IP

• BootP always

•

BootP Disabled

•

BootP or Last Address

BootP or Default IP: This setting sends a BootP request when the switch IP address stored in nonvolatile memory is the factory default value. If the stored IP address differs from the factory default value, the switch uses the stored network parameters. If the switch cannot find a BootP server, it tries five more times to find one and then defaults to the factory settings.

BootP Always: This setting ignores the stored network parameters and sends a BootP request each time the switch boots. If the BootP request fails, the switch boots with the factory default IP configuration. This setting disables remote management if no BootP server is set up for the switch, but it lets the switch boot normally.

BootP Disabled:

Changing the administrator password 27

Variable Value

This setting uses the IP configuration parameters stored in nonvolatile memory each time the switch boots. If a BootP configuration is in progress when you issue this command, the BootP configuration stops.

BootP or Last Address: This setting obtains the IP configuration using BootP at each start up. If the BootP request fails, the switch uses the network parameters stored in its nonvolatile memory.

Note: Valid parameters obtained in using BootP always replace current information stored in the nonvolatile memory.

Note: Whenever the switch broadcasts BootP requests, the BootP process times out if a reply is not received within approximately 60 seconds. When the process times out, the BootP request mode automatically changes to BootP Disabled mode. To restart the BootP process, change the BootP request mode to any of the two following modes: BootP Always, or to BootP or Last Address.

Stack IP Address Type a new stack IP address in the appropriate format. The format

is: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Switch IP Address Type a new switch IP address in the appropriate format. The

default switch IP address is 192.168.1.32

Subnet Mask Type a new subnet mask in the appropriate format. The default

subnet mask value is 255.255.255.0.

Default Gateway Type an IP address for the default gateway in the appropriate

format. The default gateway value is 0.0.0.0.

Conﬁguring a stack

Use this procedure to stack BES200 units so they can handle more trafﬁc and be managed as a single IP address.

Procedure steps

Step Action

Conﬁguring LACP ports 41

Access the bottom switch in the stack. Typically, this is the base unit that serves to connect any other units

in the stack.

At the back of the unit you have chosen as the base unit, position the slide switch to the position labeled as Base.

For the other units in the stack, move the slide switches for the units to the unlabeled position.

Adjacent to the slide switch on the units, are two RJ-45 ports labeled Cascade up and Cascade down. Plug one end of a cable into the Cascade up port on the base unit, and then plug the other end into the Cascade down port on the ﬁrst stacked unit.

The top unit in the stack has one end of a cable plugged into the Cascade up port and the other end plugged into the Cascade down port of the base unit and completes the loop.

5 Repeat Step 4 on successively stacked units until the stack is

complete.
