EtherWAN Managed Switch Users Guide
18
Required Equipment and Software
The following hardware and software are needed in order to manage the switch from the
web interface:
Computer with an Ethernet Interface (RJ-45)
Managing the switch requires a personal computer (PC) or notebook computer
equipped with a 10/100base-TX Ethernet interface and a physical RJ-45
connection. The preferred operating system for the computer is Microsoft Windows
XP/Vista/7. It is possible to use Apple OSX or Linux systems as well, but, for the
sake of brevity, all web configurations in this manual will be shown using Windows
7 as the underlying operating system.
Cat 5+ Ethernet Cables
An Ethernet cable of at least Category 5 rating is required to connect your
computer to the switch. The cable can be configured as “straight-through” or
crossover.
TFTP Server Software
Trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) server software is needed to update the switch
firmware and to upload/download configuration files to the switch. Users not
performing these tasks do not need TFTP software installed. Several good TFTP
servers are available for free online. The server that will be used in this manual is
TFTPD32 by Philippe Jounin.
Web Browser Software
The end user can employ any of the following web browsers during switch
configuration: Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome. Internet Explorer is the
preferred browser for EtherWAN switch configuration. If there is trouble with other
browsers while attempting to program the switch, Internet Explorer should be used.
19
EtherWAN Managed Switch Users Guide
COMPUTER SETUP
The end user’s management computer may need to be reconfigured prior to connecting to
the switch in order to access the switch’s web interface through its default IP address (See
Default IP).
Management Methods and Protocols
There are several methods that can be used to manage the switch. This manual
will show the details of configuring the switch using a web browser. Each section
will be followed by the CLI (Command Line Interface) commands needed to
achieve the same results as described in that section.
The methods available to manage the EtherWAN Managed Switch include:
SSH - Secure Shell CLI that is accessible over TCP/IP networks which and
is generally regarded as the most secure method of remotely accessing a
device.
Telnet - is like SSH in that it allows a CLI to be established across a
TCP/IP network, but it does not encrypt the data stream.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the most popular switch
management protocol involving the use of a web browser.
RS232 – The EtherWAN Managed Switch is equipped with a RS232 serial
port that can be used to access the switches CLI. The Serial port is DCE
DB9F. A straight through serial cable is used to connect to a typical
computer serial port.
EtherWAN Managed Switch Users Guide
20
Default IP
The switch’s default IP address is 192.168.1.10. The user will need to modify the
management computer so that it is on the same network as the switch. For
example, the user could change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Login Process and Default Credentials
Once a compatible IP address has been assigned to the management computer,
the user is ready to log in to the switch. To log in, type the URL http://192.168.1.10/
into the address field of the browser and hit return. The following will appear in the
browser window (See Figure 1)
The Default Login is root (case sensitive)
There is no password by default
Enter the login name and click the Login button
Figure 1: Login screen

EtherWAN Managed Switch Users Guide
SETTING THE INITIAL IP ADDRESS
Once logged in the user can now configure the switch per the network requirements. The
two major addressing options are:
Simple IP addressing
Multiple VLAN addressing (See Add an IP to the Management VLAN on page 186).
Simple IP Addressing
A new IP address can now be assigned to the switch. From the System Information screen,
go to the left hand navigation menu.
1. Click on the + next to System
2. Click on IP address
3. Enter the desired IP address and subnet mask in the IP Address/Subnet Mask
fields associated with VLAN 1
4. Click the Apply & Save button (See Figure 2)

CLI COMMAND USAGE
This chapter describes accessing the EtherWAN Managed Switch by using Telnet, SSH, or
serial ports to configure the switch, navigating the Command Line Interface (CLI), typing
keyboard shortcuts, and moving between the levels. This chapter assumes the user has a
working understanding of Telnet, SSH and Terminal emulation applications.
Note: For a serial port connection use a standard DB9F to DB9M Modem Cable. The
default Serial port parameters are 115200, 8 None 1, No Flow Control.
Navigating the CLI Hierarchy
The CLI is organized into a hierarchy of levels. Each level has a group of commands for a
specific purpose. For example, to configure a setting for the VLAN server, one would
navigate to the VLAN level, which is under the config level.
CLI Keyboard Shortcuts
Ctrl + a: place cursor at the beginning of a line
Ctrl + b: backspace one character
Ctrl + d: delete one character
Ctrl + e: place cursor at the end of the line
Ctrl + f: move cursor forward one character
Ctrl + k: delete from the current position to the end of the line
Ctrl + l: redraw the command line
Ctrl + n: display the next line in the history
Ctrl + p: display the previous line in the history
Ctrl + u: delete entire line and place cursor at start of prompt
Ctrl + w: delete one word back

CLI Command modes
Throughout this manual, each section that has CLI commands relevant to that section
requires that the CLI be in a specific configuration mode. This section shows the main CLI
commands to needed to enter a specific mode.
General Configuration Mode
To set the EtherWAN Managed Switch to General configuration mode, run the
following commands from the CLI:
1. enable
2. configure terminal
Example:
switch_a>enable
switch_a#configure terminal
switch_a(config)#
MSTP Configuration Mode
To set the EtherWAN Managed Switch to General MSTP configuration mode, run the
following commands from the CLI:
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. spanning-tree mst configuration
Example:
switch_a>enable
switch_a#configure terminal
switch_a(config)#spanning-tree mst configuration
switch_a(config-mst)#
24
EtherWAN Managed Switch Users Guide
Interface Configuration Mode
Interface mode on the EtherWAN Managed Switch is used to configure the Ethernet ports
and VLAN information. Valid interfaces are:
fe<port #> - 100mb ports use fe followed by the port number. Example: fe1
ge<port #> - Gigabit ports use ge followed by the port number. Example: ge1
vlan1.<vlan#> - VLAN’s use vlan. Followed by the VLAN ID. Example: vlan1.10
Example 1 configures 100mb port 1
switch_a>enable
switch_a#configure terminal
switch_a(config)#interface fe1
switch_a(config-if)
Example 2 configures VLAN ID 9
switch_a>enable
switch_a#configure terminal
switch_a(config)#interface vlan1.9
switch_a(config-if)
VLAN Database Configuration Mode
VLAN Database Configuration Mode on the EtherWAN Managed Switch is used to
configure the VLAN settings.
Example:
switch_a>enable
switch_a#configure terminal
switch_a(config)#vlan database
switch_a(config-vlan)#
Saving a Configuration from the CLI
Example:
switch_a>enable
switch_a#write memory

3. Use your mouse to place the cursor in the System Name text box.
4. Replace the existing name with the name you want to assign to the switch.
5. Click on the Update Setting button.
By default there is no password assigned to the switch. To add or change a password:
1. Click on the + next to System.
2. Click on System Name/Password (see Figure 4).
3. Use your mouse to place the cursor in the Password text box.
4. Enter the new password.
