Chapter 2 Network Design
The S3100 series can be flexibly deployed in networks. They can be used in enterprise
networks, or serve as broadband access points. The following examples are two typical
networks using the S3100 series.
2.1 MAN Access Solution
In a metropolitan area network (MAN), the S3100 series can serve as access devices.
In the downlink direction, they directly connect to users through 100 Mbps interfaces;
and in the uplink direction, they connect to an aggregation layer (Layer 3) switches or
Quidway MA5200 intelligent service gateways, which further connect to the core of the
MAN through routers. This provides you a comprehensive gigabit-to-backbone
100-Mbps-to-desktop MAN solution.
Network Design
Figure 2-1 Network diagram for a MAN using S3100 series
2.2 Education Network Solution
In a campus network, the S3100 series can serve as desktop switching devices at the
access layer. They directly connect to users in education buildings through 100 Mbps
downlink interfaces; and connect to the core switch in the campus through a 1000 Mbps
uplink interface; the core switch further connects to the education network through a
router. This enables the users in the campus to exchange information and share
resources in the scope of the education network.

Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 CLI Overview
Chapter 1 CLI Overview
1.1 Introduction to the CLI
A Quidway series Ethernet switch provides a command line interface (CLI) and
commands for you to configure and manage the Ethernet switch. The CLI is featured by
the following:
z Commands are grouped by levels. This prevents unauthorized users from
operating the switch with relevant commands.
z Users can gain online help at any time by entering the question mark "?".
z Commonly used diagnosing utilities (such as Tracert and Ping) are available.
z Debugging information of various kinds is available.
z The command history is available. Y ou can recall a nd execute a hist ory command
easily.
z You can execute a command by only entering part of the command in the CLI, as
long as the keywords you input uniquely identify the corresponding ones.
1.2 Command Protection/Command View
To prevent unauthorized accesses, commands are protected at different levels.
Commands fall into four protection levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage:
z Visit level: Commands at this level are mainly used to diagnose network and
change the language mode of user interface, and cannot be saved i n configuration
files. For example, the ping, tracert, and language-mode commands are at this
level.
z Monitor level: Commands at this level are mainly used to maintain the system and
diagnose service problems, and cannot be saved to configuration files. For
example, the display and debugging commands are at this level.
z System level: Commands at this level are mainly used to configure services.
Commands concerning routing and network layers are at this level. Y ou can utilize
network services by using these commands.
z Manage level: Commands at this level are associated with the basic operation of
the system, and the system supporting modules. These commands provide
supports to services. Commands concerning file system, FTP/TFTP/XModem
downloading, user management, and level setting are at this level.
Users logging into a switch also fall into four levels, each of which corresponding to one
of the above command levels. Users at a specific level can only use the commands of
the same level and those of the lower levels.

Operation Manual – CLI
Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 CLI Overview
1.2.1 Switching between User Levels
A user can switch the user level from one to another by executing a related command
after logging into a switch. The administrator can also set user level switching
passwords so that users can switch their levels from lower ones to higher ones only
when they input the correct passwords.
I. Setting a user level switching password
Table 1-1 lists the operations to set a user level switching password.
Table 1-1 Set a user level switching password
Operation Command Description
Enter system view

Set a password for
switching from a lower
user level to the user
level identified by the
super password
[ level level ] { simple |
cipher } password
level argument
II. Switching to another user level
Table 1-2 lists operations to switch to another user level.
Table 1-2 Switch to another user level
Operation Command Description
Required
If a password for switching to the user
Switch to the user
level identified by
the level argument
super [ level ]
level identified by the level argument is
set and you want to switch to a lower
user level, you will remain at the lower
user level unless you provide the correct
password after executing this command.
—
Optional
A password is necessary only
when a user switch es from a
lower user level to a higher
user level.
Note:
For security purpose, the password a user enters when switching to a higher user level
is not displayed. A user will remain at the original user level if the user has tried three
times to enter the correct password but fails to do this.

enter user view once you log into a switch successfully, where you can perform
operations such as displaying operation status and statistical information. And by
executing the system-view command, you can enter system view, where you can
enter other views by executing the corresponding commands.
The following CLI views are provided:
z User view
z System view
z Ethernet port view
z VLAN view
z VLAN interface view
z LoopBack interface view
z Local user view
z User interface view
z FTP client view
z SFTP client view

copy Copy the file
debugging Enable system debugging functions
delete Delete the file
dir Display the file list in system
display Display current system information
<omitted>

Operation Manual – CLI
Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 CLI Overview
Enter a command, a space, and a "?" character (instead of an argument available in
this position of the command) on your terminal to display all the available arguments
and their brief descriptions. The following takes the interface vlan command as an
example.
[Quidway] interface vlan ?
<1-4094> VLAN interface number
[Quidway] interface vlan 1 ?
<cr>
The string <cr> means no argument is available in the position occupied by the "?"
character. You can execute the command without providing any other information.
II. Partial online help
Enter a string followed directly by a "?" character on your terminal to display all the
commands beginning with the string. For example:
<Quidway> pi?
ping
Enter a command, a space, and a string followed by a "?" character on your terminal to
display all the keywords that belong to the command and begin with the string (if
available). For example:
<Quidway> display ver?
version
Enter a command, the first several characters of an available keyword which uniquely
identifies the keyword, and press <Tab>, to complete the keyword will be automatically
completed.
