•Optional parameter values are shown again in [square brackets]

Thus, the syntax

command [parameter1=<value1>[,paramter2=<value2>]] parameter3=<value3|value4>

indicates the following:

•parameters 1 and 2 are optional

•parameter 2 can be used optionally only if parameter 1 is specified

•parameter 3 is mandatory.

Whenever the word PC is used, it implies a UNIX, Linux, Windows, or any other operating system based workstation, computer, personal computer, laptop, notebook or any other computing device. Most of the manual uses Windows XP based examples. While effort has been made to indicate other operating system interactions, it is best to use a Windows-XP based machine when in doubt.

The documentation reflects features of MultiLink Switch Software version 1.7.x or later. If your switch is not at the current version, GE Multilin recommends upgrade to version 1.7.x or later. Please refer to the GE Multilin website for information on upgrading the MultiLink Switch Software.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.4.3Before Starting

This section explains how to setup the GE MultiLink family of switches using the console port on the switch. Some of the functionality includes setting up the IP address of the switch, securing the switch with a user name and password, setting up VLANs and more.

Before you start, it is recommended to acquire the hardware listed below and be ready with the items listed.

For initial configuration through the serial/console port:

1.A female-female null modem cable.

2.A serial port. If your PC does not have a serial port, you may want to invest in a USB-to-serial converter or USB-to-serial cable.

3.Terminal emulation firmware such as HyperTerminal or other equivalent firmware. Ensure the firmware supports Xmodem protocol, as you may need this in the future to update the MultiLink Switch Software.

4.Enough disk space to store and retrieve the configuration files as well as copy firmware files. We recommend at least 15 MB of disk space for this purpose.

5.For access security - decide on a manager level account name and password

6.IP address, netmask, default gateway for the switch being configured.

As a default, the switch has no IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask. For first time use, the IP address has to be assigned. This can only be done by using the console interface provided.

The same procedure can also be used for other configuration changes or updates (for example, changing the IP address, VLAN assignments and more). Once the IP address is assigned and a PC is networked to the switch, the switch's command line interface (CLI) can be accessed via telnet. To manage the switch through in-band (networked) access (e.g. telnet, or web browser Interface), you should configure the switch with an IP address and subnet mask compatible with your network. Also, change the manager password to control access privileges from the console.

Many other features such as optimizing the switch's performance, traffic engineering and traffic prioritizing, VLAN configuration, and improving network security can be configured through the switch's console interface as well as in-band (networked) access, once the IP address is setup. Besides the IP address, setting up the SNMP parameters allows configuration and monitoring through an SNMP network management station running a network management program.

INTRODUCTION

1.5Command Line Interface Firmware

1.5.1Console Connection

The connection to the console is accessed through the DB-9 RJ45connector on the switch marked as the console port. This command line interface (or CLI) provides access to the switch commands. It can be accessed by attaching a PC running terminal emulation firmware to the console port.

USB-to-RJ45 adapters are also available for computers that have access to USB ports.

The interface through the console or the console management interface (or CMI) enables you to reconfigure the switch and to monitor switch status and performance.

Once the switch is configured with an IP address, the command line interface (or CLI) is also accessible using telnet as well as the serial port. Access to the switch can be either through the console interface or remotely over the network. Simultaneous access (that is, through the console port as well as through the network) to the MultiLink switch is not permitted.

The Command Line Interface (CLI) enables local or remote unit installation and maintenance. The MultiLink family of switches provides a set of system commands which allow effective monitoring, configuration and debugging of the devices on the network.

1.5.2Console Setup

Connect the console port on the switch to the serial port on the computer using the serial cable listed above. The settings for the HyperTerminal firmware are shown below. Make sure the serial parameters are set as shown (or bps = 38400, data bits = 8, parity = none, stop bits = 1, flow control = none).

FIGURE 1–1: Serial Settings in HyperTerminal

1.5.3Console Screen

Once the console cable is connected to the PC and the firmware configured, ML3000 legal disclaimers and other text scrolls by on the screen.

INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The line interface prompt appears displaying the switch model number (e.g. ML3000>)

The switch has three modes of operation: operator (least privilege), manager, and configuration. The prompts for the switches change as the switch changes modes from operator to manager to configuration. The prompts are shown below with a brief description.

•ML3000>

Operator Level - for running operations queries

•ML3000#

Manager Level - for setting and reviewing commands

•ML3000##

Configuration Level - for changing the switch parameter values

For additional information on default users, user levels and more, refer to User

Management on page 1–15.

1.5.4Logging In for the First Time

For the first time, use the default user name and passwords assigned by GE. They are:

•Username: manager Password: manager

•Username: operator Password: operator

We recommend you login as manager for the first time to set up the IP address as well as change user passwords or create new users.

1.5.5Automatic IP Address Configuration

NOTE

The ML3000 is operational immediately after it is powered up. The advanced management and configuration capabilities of the ML3000 allows you to easily configure, manage, and secure your devices and network.

Before starting, ensure you have the following items:

•RJ45 Ethernet cable

•PC with an Ethernet port

•Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

•Macromedia Flash Player 5.0 or higher (available from http:// www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/ download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash)

Ensure both firmware components are installed before proceeding.

The ML3000 can search the network for commonly used services that can issue an IP address. If the switch is connected to a network, the ML3000 uses the following process to find an IP address.

If the ML3000 is not connected to a network, then proceed to Step 3 below. or use the default IP address.

Step 1:

The ML3000 will scan the network for a DHCP server. If the server responds, the ML3000 will acquire and set the assigned IP address. To manage the switch, determine the assigned IP address and enter as follows in Internet Explorer:

1–12	MULTILINK ML3000 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

https://<assigned_IP_address>

Ensure that https is entered, not http, and that there is connectivity (that is, you can ping the switch).

Step 2:

If there is no response from a DCHP server, the ML3000 will query for a BOOTP server. If the server responds, the ML3000 will acquire and set the assigned IP address. To manage the switch, determine the assigned IP address and enter as follows in Internet Explorer:

https://<assigned_IP_address>

Ensure that https is entered, not http, and that there is connectivity (that is, you can ping the switch).

Step 3:

If there is no response from either a DCHP or BOOTP server, or if the switch is not connected to a network, the switch will assign itself an IP address. The ML3000 will check to see if IP address 192.168.1.2, with a network mask of 255.255.255.0, is free. If so, it will assume these values. If this IP address is assigned to another device, the ML3000 will repeat steps 1 through 3 to find a DCHP or BOOTP server or wait for the 192.168.1.2 address to become free.

Once connected, the browser will display a login prompt. The default login is:

•Username: manager Password: manager

1.5.6Setting the IP Parameters

To setup the switch, the IP address and other relevant TCP/IP parameters have to be specified.

The IP address on the MultiLink switch is set to 192.168.1.2 from the factory. The switch is fully operational as a Layer 2 switch as a default. Setting a default IP address can potentially cause duplicate IP address problem if multiple switches are powered on and installed on the network. To manage the switch, an IP address has to be programmed.

Before starting, please ensure that the IP address assigned to the switch is known or contact your system/network administrator to get the IP address information. Follow the steps listed below to configure the switch.

Ensure the power is off.

Follow the steps described above for connecting the console cable and setting the console firmware.

Power on the switch.

Once the login prompt appears, login as manager using default password (manager).

Configure the IP address, network mask and default gateway as per the IP addressing scheme for your network.

Set the manager password (this step is recommended; refer to the following section).

Save the settings (without saving, the changes made will be lost).

Power off the switch (or a firmware reboot as discussed below).

Power on the switch - login with the new login name and password.

INTRODUCTION

NOTE

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

From the PC (or from the switch) ping the IP address specified for the switch to ensure connectivity.

From the switch ping the default gateway specified (ensure you are connected to the network to check for connectivity) to ensure network connectivity.

Syntax:

ipconfig [ip=<ip-address>] [mask=<subnet-mask>] [dgw=<gateway>]

An example is shown below.

ML3000# ipconfig ip=3.94.247.41 mask=255.255.252.0 dgw=3.94.247.41

ML3000# save

This manual assumes the reader is familiar with IP addressing schemes as well as how net mask is used and how default gateways and routers are used in a network.

Reboot gives an opportunity to save the configuration prior to shutdown. For a reboot, simply type in the command reboot. Note that even though the passwords are not changed, they can be changed later.

ML3000# reboot

Proceed on rebooting the switch? ['Y' or 'N'] Y

Do you wish to save current configuration? ['Y' or 'N'] Y

ML3000#

The ML3000 forces an answer by prompting with a “Y” or a “N” to prevent accidental keystroke errors and loss of work.

The parameters can be viewed at any time by using the show command. The show command will be covered in more detail later in various sections throughout the document.

The example below illustrates the basic setup parameters. You can use show setup or show sysconfig commands to view setup parameters.

Some of the parameters in the MultiLink family of switches are shown above. The list of parameters below indicates some of the key parameters on the switch and the recommendations for changing them (or optionally keeping them the same).

1.5.7Privilege Levels

Two privilege levels are available - manager and operator. Operator is at privilege level 1 and the manager is at privilege level 2 (the privilege increases with the levels). For example, to set up a user for basic monitoring capabilities use lower number or operator level privilege (level 1).

The Manager level provides all operator level privileges plus the ability to perform systemlevel actions and configuration commands. To select this level, enter the enable <username> command at the Operator level prompt and enter the Manager password, when prompted.

enable <user-name>

For example, switching from an operator-level to manager-level, using the enable command is shown below.

ML3000> enable manager

Password: *******

ML3000#

Note the prompt changes with the new privilege level.

Operator privileges allow views of the current configurations but do not allow changes to the configuration. A “>” character delimits the operator-level prompt.

Manager privileges allow configuration changes. The changes can be done at the manager prompt or for global configuration as well as specific configuration. A “#” character delimits any manager prompt.

1.5.8User Management

A maximum of five users can be added per switch. Users can be added, deleted or changed from a manager level account. There can be more than one manager account, subject to the maximum number of users on the switch being restricted to five.

To add a user, use the add command as shown below. The user name has to be a unique name. The password is recommended to be at least 8 characters long with a mix of upper case, lower case, numbers and special characters.

add user=<name> level=<number>

The following example adds a user “peter” with manager-level privilege:

ML3000# user

ML3000(user)## add user=peter level=2

Enter User Password:****** Confirm New Password:****** ML3000(user)##

To delete a user, use the delete command as shown below. delete user=<name>

MULTILINK ML3000 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The following example deletes the user “peter”:

ML3000(user)## delete user=peter

Confirm User Deletion(Y/N): Y

User successfully deleted ML3000(user)##

The syntax to modify a password is shown below: passwd user=<name>

The following example changes the password for user “peter”.

ML3000(user)## passwd user=peter

Enter New Password:****** Confirm New Password :******

Password has been modified successfully ML3000(user)##

The syntax to modify the privilege level for a specific user is shown below: chlevel user=<name> level=<number>

The following example modifies the privilege level of user “peter” to Operator privileges.

ML3000(user)## chlevel user=peter level=1

Access Permission Modified ML3000(user)##

The syntax to set the access privileges for telnet and Web services is shown below: useraccess user=<name> service=<telnet|web> <enable|disable>

The following example sets the access privileges for telnet and Web services.

ML3000(user)## useraccess user=peter service=telnet disable

Telnet Access Disabled.

1.5.9Help

Typing the help command lists the commands you can execute at the current privilege level. For example, typing help at the Operator level shows the following:

ML3000> help

logout ping set terminal telnet walkmib

Contextless Commands:

!? clear

enable	exit	help
show	whoami
alarm

ML3000>

Help for any command that is available at the current context level can be viewed by typing help followed by enough of the command string to identify the command. The following syntax applies:

help <command string>
