CLI Documentation
The DWS-3000 CLI Command Reference gives information about the CLI commands used to
configure the switch. The document provides CLI descriptions, syntax, and default values.
Refer to the DWS-3000 CLI Command Reference for information on:
Connect a terminal to the switch to begin configuration.
In-Band and Out-of-Band Connectivity
Ask the system administrator to determine whether you will configure the switch for in-band
or out-of-band connectivity. To use the Web Interface, you must set up your system for in-band
connectivity.
Configuring for In-Band Connectivity
In-band connectivity allows you to access the switch from a remote workstation using the
Ethernet network. To use in-band connectivity, you must configure the switch with IP
information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
1
Configure for In-band connectivity using one of the following methods:
•BootP or DHCP
•EIA-232 port
Using BootP or DHCP
You can assign IP information initially over the network or over the Ethernet service port
through BootP or DHCP. Check with your system administrator to determine whether BootP
or DHCP is enabled.
You need to configure the BootP or DHCP server with information about the switch —obtain
this information through the serial port connection using the
the server with the following values:
IP Address
Unique IP address for the switch. Each IP parameter is made up of four decimal numbers, ranging from 0 to 255. The default for all IP parameters is
10.90.90.90.

4. Connect the switch to the AC receptacle.
5. Activate the AC power receptacle.
When the power is turned on with the local terminal already connected, the switch goes
through a power-on self-test (POST). POST runs every time the switch is initialized and
checks hardware components to determine if the switch is fully operational before completely
booting. If POST detects a critical problem, the startup procedure stops. If POST passes
successfully, a valid executable image is loaded into RAM. POST messages are displayed on
the terminal and indicate test success or failure. The boot process runs for approximately 60
seconds.
minal emulator via the RS-232 crossover cable.
Initial Configuration
NOTE: The initial simple configuration procedure is based on the following assump-
tions:
•The switch was not configured before and is in the same state as when you received it.
•The switch booted successfully.
•The console connection was established and the console prompt appears on the screen of a
VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent.
The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After the initial
configuration, you can manage the switch either from the already-connected console port or
remotely through an interface defined during the initial configuration.
NOTE: The switch is not configured with a default user name and password.
NOTE: All of the settings below are necessary to allow the remote management of the
switch through Telnet (Telnet client) or HTTP (Web browser).
Before setting up the initial configuration of the switch, obtain the following information from
your network administrator:
•The IP address to be assigned to the management interface through which the switch is
This section contains procedures to help you become acquainted quickly with the switch
software.
Before installing the Unified Switch, you should verify that the switch operates with the most
recent firmware.
Quick Starting the Networking Device
1. Configure the switch for In-band or Out-of-Band connectivity. In-band connectivity
allows access to the Unified Switch locally or from a remote workstation. You must configure the device with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
2. Turn the Power ON.
3. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial
state is called the default mode.
4. When the prompt asks for operator login, do the following steps:
-Type admin at the login prompt. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands
require administrator account rights, D-Link suggests logging into an administrator
account.
Do not enter a password because the default mode does not use a password - after typing
admin, press Enter two times.
-The CLI User EXEC prompt is displayed.
-Type enable to switch to the Privileged EXEC mode from User EXEC.
-Type configure to switch to the Global Config mode from Privileged EXEC.
-Type exit to return to the previous mode.
-Enter ? to show a list of commands that are available in the current mode.

This chapter is a brief introduction to the Web interface — it explains how to access the Webbased management panels to configure and manage the system.
Tip: Use the Web interface for configuration instead of the CLI interface. Web configuration
is quicker and easier than entering multiple required CLI commands.
You can manage your switch through a Web browser and Internet connection. This is referred
to as Web-based management. To use Web-based management, the system must be set up for
in-band connectivity.
To access the switch, the Web browser must support:
•HTML version 4.0, or later
•HTTP version 1.1, or later
•JavaScript
•Java

There are equivalent functions in the Web interface and the terminal interface — both
applications usually employ the same menus to accomplish a task. For example, when you log
in, there is a Main Menu with the same functions available, etc.
There are several differences between the Web and terminal interfaces. For example, on the
Web interface the entire forwarding database can be displayed, while the terminal interface
only displays 10 entries starting at specified addresses.
To terminate the Web interface session, click the Logout button.
Configuring for Web Access

Web Page Layout
A Web interface panel for the switch Web page consists of three areas (Figure 2).
A banner graphic of the switch appears across the top of the panel.
The second area, a hierarchical-tree view appears to the left of the panel. The tree consists of a
combination of folders, subfolders, and configuration and status HTML pages. You can think
of the folders and subfolders as branches and the configuration and status HTML pages as
leaves. Only the selection of a leaf (not a folder or subfolder) will cause the display of a new
HTML page. A folder or subfolder has no corresponding HTML page.
The third area, at the bottom-right of the panel, displays the currently selected device
configuration status and/or the user configurable information that you have selected from the
tree view.
Configuring an SNMP V3 user profile is a part of user configuration. Any user can connect to
the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, additional steps
are needed. Use the following steps to configure an SNMP V3 new user profile.
