1Introduction

The LANCOM switch models LANCOM ES-2126+ and LANCOM ES-2126P are managed layer-2 switches with 24 Fast Ethernet ports (for twisted pair cable – TP) and two Gigabit dual media ports with TP/SFP, which meets the IEEE
802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet and Ethernet specifications The switch can be managed through RS-232 serial port via directly connec-
tion, or through Ethernet port using Telnet or Web-based management unit, associated with SNMP agent. With the SNMP agent, the network administra­tor can logon the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity in a friendly way.
The overall network management is enhanced and the network efficiency is also improved to accommodate high bandwidth applications. In addition, the switch features comprehensive and useful function such as QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Secu­rity, SNMP/RMON and IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent software. It is suitable for both metro-LAN and office application.
This LANCOM ES-2126P switch also complies with IEEE 802.3af, its advanced auto-sensing algorithm enables providing power devices (PD) discovery, clas­sification, current limit, and other necessary functions. It also supports high safety with short circuit protection and power-out auto-detection to PD.
10/100/1000Mbps TP is a standard Ethernet port that meets all IEEE 802.3/u/ x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000Base­SX/LX standards.
1000Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi) transceiver is designed with an optic Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-direc­tional full duplex signal over a single fiber simultaneously.

switch

3.1 Configuration options

There are two different methods of configuring the device.
EN

3.1.1 Starting WEBconfig

쮿 By means of a graphical user interface or via a browser (WEBconfig). This
option is only available if you have network access to the device's IP address from your computer.
Instructions for configuring the device with WEBconfig are available in the chapter "Web-based configuration".
쮿 Text-orientated configuration via a console (Command Line Interface –
CLI): This method of configuration, which requires a program such as Tel­net, Hyperterminal, or similar, can be conducted over a network connec­tion or with a direct connection via serial interface (RS-232).
Instructions for configuring the device with CLI are available in the chap­ter "Command line interface".
20
There are two ways of starting the configuration by browser:
쮿 If you know the device's IP address, simply enter this into the address line
in the browser. The factory settings for accessing the device are: User name "admin", password "admin".
LANCOM ES-2126+ and LANCOM ES-2126P
쮿 Chapter 3: Configuring and monitoring the LANCOM switch
쮿 If you do not have the device's IP number, LANconfig can be used to
search for it. To start LANconfig click on Start Programs LANCOM
LANconfig.
EN
21
LANCOM ES-2126+ and LANCOM ES-2126P
쮿 Chapter 3: Configuring and monitoring the LANCOM switch
EN
LANconfig automatically searches for all available devices in your net­work. Any available LANCOM devices will be displayed in the list, inclu­ding the LANCOM switch. Double- click on this entry to start the browser automatically with the correct IP address.
What is the IP address of my LANCOM switch?
The current IP address of the LANCOM switch after being switched on depends on the network constellation.
Networks with DHCP server – In its factory settings, the LANCOM switch is set for auto DHCP mode, meaning that it searches for a DHCP server to assign it an IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. The assigned IP address can only be determined by using the appropriate tools or via the DHCP server. If the DHCP server is a LANCOM device, the IP address of the LAN­COM switch can be read out from the DHCP table. If this is the case, the LANCOM switch can be accessed from any network computer that receives its IP address from the same DHCP server.
Network without a DHCP server – If no DHCP server is present in the network, the LANCOM switch automatically adopts the address "172.23.56.252" (LANCOM ES-2126+) or "172.23.56.251" (LANCOM ES-2126P). If this is the case, the LANCOM switch can be accessed from any network computer with its IP address set to the address range "172.23.56.x".
22

3.1.2 Starting the Command Line Interface over the network

If you know the device's IP address (see section above) and the LANCOM switch is accessible from your computer via the network, the you can use the command line interface via the network.
To do this, start a console such as Telnet and enter the device's IP address
as the target.

3.1.3 Starting the Command Line Interface over the serial connection

If you do not know the IP address of the device, you can use the command line interface via a serial connection.
Use the serial configuration cable to connect the LANCOM switch to the
configuration computer ("Mounting and connecting up the LANCOM Switch').
Start a terminal program on the configuration computer, such as Hyper-
terminal under Windows. Use the following parameters for the connec­tion:

3.2 Which configuration does the device use?

The switch supports four different configurations: The start configuration, the current working configuration, the user configuration and the default confi­guration.
Start configuration
At the system start, the device takes the parameters from the start confi­guration and copies these to the working configuration. On shipping, the start configuration is the same as the default configuration.
To change the start configuration, the altered parameters have to be
saved as the start configuration.
Working configuration:
This is the currently active configuration in the device. It can be changed at any time. All changes to the configuration are saved here. Each time you make changes and press <Apply>, the changes are stored to the wor­king configuration.
The changes to the working configuration are not automatically
adopted for the start configuration. They have to be saved specifically as the start or user configuration. If you do not save the changes to your working configuration, they will be lost and the previous start configuration will be active when you start the system the next time.
24

Default configuration
This is the default configuration and it cannot be altered. The web user interface has the following options to restore the switch to its default setting.
With the function "restore default configuration included default IP
address" you can reset the switch to the factory default settings (including the administrator´s password and the auto DHCP setting).
With the function “restore default configuration without changing
current IP address” you can reset the switch to the factory default set­tings, but without changing the IP address. You can access the switch at its last IP address.
With the serial configuration interface you can reset the switch to the
factory default setting, without knowing the current administrator´s password. To do this you have to set up a serial connection to the device as described in ’Start Command Line Interface via serial connection’. In the terminal program, before you enter the username press CTRL+Z, enter “RESET” as the username and the MAC address (without blank characters) as the password.
