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.

Setting the IP address

Use this procedure to conﬁgure an IP address for the switch. To use the BES100 or BES200 management features, you must ﬁrst

conﬁgure the switch with an IP address that is compatible with the network where it is being installed. For simplicity, conﬁgure the IP address before you permanently install the switch.

Procedure steps

Step Action 1

2 Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel

Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to conﬁrm that the PWR LED is green. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.

If the PC IP address is different from the switch but is on the same subnet, go to the next step. (For example, if the PC and switch both have addresses that start with 192.168.1.x.) Otherwise, manually set the IP address for the PC. See "Changing a PC IP address"

(page 79). The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.1.132,

the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is 0.0.0.0.

Open your Web browser and enter the address http://192.168.1.132. If you do not see the logon page, check your IP address and repeat step 3.

If prompted, enter the default user name nnadmin and default password PlsChgMe!, and click Login.

From the main menu, click Conﬁguration > IP. On the IP Settings page, select a BootP request mode. Enter a stack IP address followed by the new switch IP address,

Enter an IP address to Ping and test connectivity. Choose whether to perform the Ping test at this time by selecting

Yes or No.

14 Click Submit.

No other conﬁguration changes are required at this stage, but Nortel recommends that you change the administrator password and enable password authentication before you log off.

Setting the IP address automatically

You can use an IP address to manage access to the switch over your network. By default, the switch invokes BootP at startup to obtain an IP address for the user interface. If you want to conﬁgure the user interface IP address manually, you can power the BES without a BootP server present and browse to the factory default address for the user interface.

Prerequisites

•

To conﬁgure the switch dynamically, the network must provide BOOTP services.

Procedure steps Step Action

1 2

From the main menu, choose Conﬁguration > IP. In the BootP Request Mode box, choose the type of BootP mode

you want.

Click Submit. If BOOTP is enabled, the switch broadcasts a request for IP

conﬁguration settings on each power reset.

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

Note: When the IP address is entered in the In-Band IP Address field, and the In-Band Subnet Mask field value is not present, the software provides an in-use default value for the In-Band Subnet Mask field that is based on the class of the IP address entered in the In-Band IP Address field.

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.

Administration username: nnadmin

password: PlsChgMe! Ping IP Type an IP address to ping. Ping Host Choose Yes or No. Ping Result (if ping issued) Displays the results of the ping operation.
