Chapter 2: New in this document

There are no new feature changes in this document.

December 2017 10

Chapter 3: Fundamentals

This document includes the minimum but essential configuration steps to:

• provide a default, starting point configuration

• establish a management interface

• establish basic security on the node

The shipment includes the following:

• An installation kit

• A foldout poster (Quick Install Guide for Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series)

For more information about hardware specifications and installation procedures, see Installing
Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series.

For more information about how to configure security, see Configuring Security on Ethernet Routing
Switch 3600 Series.

System connection

Use the console cable to connect the terminal to the switch console port. The console cable and
connector must match the console port on the switch (DB-9 or RJ-45, depending on your model).
The following are the default communication protocol settings for the console port:

• 9600 baud

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

• No flow control

• VT100 or VT100/ANSI Terminal Protocol

To use the console port, you need the following equipment:

• A terminal or TeleTypewriter (TTY)-compatible terminal, or a portable computer with a serial
port and terminal-emulation software.

December 2017 11

Fundamentals

• An Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-listed straight-through or null modem RS-232 cable with a
female DB-9 connector for the console port on the switch. The other end of the cable must use
a connector appropriate to the serial port on your computer or terminal.

You must shield the cable that connects to the console port to comply with emissions regulations
and requirement

System logon

After the platform boot sequence is complete, a logon prompt displays.

The following table shows the default values for logon and password for console and Telnet
sessions.

Access level Description Default Logon Default Password

Read-only Permits view-only

configuration and status
information. Is equivalent
to Simple Network
Management Protocol
(SNMP) read-only
community access.

Read/write View and change

configuration and status
information across the
switch. You can change
security and password
settings. This access
level is equivalent to
SNMP read/write
community access.

RO user

RW secure

Password encryption

The local passwords for the switch are stored in the configuration file, encrypted with an Extreme
Networks proprietary algorithm.

Important:

For security reasons, it is recommended that you configure the passwords to values other than
the factory defaults.

For more information about configuring passwords, see Configuring Security on Ethernet Routing
Switch 3600 Series.

December 2017 12

Quick Start

You can use the install command in Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Quick Start menu in
Enterprise Device Manager (EDM) to configure the following:

• quick start VLAN

• in-band IP address and subnet mask

• default gateway

• DHCP server configuration

• management subnet mask, management IP address and management default gateway

• read-only and read-write community strings

• IPv6 in-band address and IPv6 default gateway

• management IPV6 address and management IPV6 default gateway

Quick Start

Password complexity

Password complexity feature enforces complexity password rules. The rules are different when the
switch is upgraded from an unsupported to a supported release for the first time. The following rules
can be configured and applied when you enable this feature:

• Minimum password length and valid characters

• Number of passwords retained in password history

• Check for sequential and repeated characters in password

For more information, see Configuring Security on Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series.

Password aging and lockout policy

Passwords expire after a specified aging period. The values for aging can be configured. The
default values are different when the switch is upgraded from an unsupported to a supported
release for the first time.

The management passwords can be configured to comply with company security policies. The
following rules can be configured and applied when you enable this feature:

• Number of days before password expiration

• Failed login attempts

For more information, see Configuring Security on Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 Series.

December 2017 13

Fundamentals

Enterprise Device Manager

Enterprise Device Manager (EDM) is an embedded graphical user interface (GUI) that you can use
to manage and monitor the platform through a standard web browser. EDM is embedded in the
switch software, and the switch operates as a web server, so you do not require additional client
software. For more information about EDM, Using CLI and EDM on Ethernet Routing Switch 3600
Series.

Enterprise Device Manager access

To access EDM, open http://<deviceip>/login.html or https://<deviceip>/
login.html from either Microsoft Internet Explorer (minimum version 8.x), or Mozilla Firefox

(minimum version 3.x).

Important:

You must enable the web server from CLI to enable HTTP access to EDM. If you want HTTP
access to the device, you must also disable the web server secure-only option. The web server
secure-only option is enabled by default and allows HTTPS access to the device. Take the
appropriate security precautions within the network if you use HTTP.

If you experience issues while connecting to EDM, check the proxy settings. Proxy settings can
affect EDM connectivity to the switch. Clear the browser cache, and do not use a proxy when
connecting to the device.

Default user name and password

To log on the switch for the first time when password security is enabled, use the default password.
For the standard software image, the default password for RO is user and secure for RW. For the
secure software image, the default password for RO is userpasswd and securepasswd for RW.

For more information about changing the passwords, see Configuring Security on Ethernet Routing
Switch 3500 Series.

EDM window

The EDM window contains the following parts:

1. navigation tree—the navigation pane on the left side of the window that displays available
command folders in a tree format

2. menu bar—the area at the top of the window that displays primary and secondary tabs that
you accessed during the session; the tabs remain available until you close them

3. toolbar—the area just below the menu bar that provides quick access to the most common
operational commands such as Apply, Refresh, and Help

December 2017 14

Enterprise Device Manager

4. work area—the main area on the right side of the window that displays the dialog boxes
where you view or configure switch parameters

Note:

Depending on your hardware model, information displayed may appear different than the figure
shown in this section.

Figure 1: EDM window

Device Physical View

When you access EDM, the first panel in the work area displays a switch summary view. The tab
behind the summary view is a real-time physical view of the front panel of a device or stack called
the Device Physical View.

Objects in the Device Physical View are

• a stand-alone switch, called a unit

• a switch stack, called a chassis

• a port

From the Device Physical View you can

• determine the hardware operating status

• select a switch or a port to perform management tasks on specific objects or view fault,
configuration, and performance information for specific objects

To select an object, click the object. The system outlines the object in yellow, indicating that the
object selected.

The conventions on the device view are similar to the actual switch appearance except that LEDs in
Device Physical View do not blink. The LEDs and the ports are color-coded to reflect hardware
status. Green indicates the port is up and running; red indicates that the port is disabled.
