쮿 Chapter 1: Introduction
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 connec­tion, or through Ethernet port using Telnet or WEBconfig. Additionally, the switches can be managed via SSH (Secure Shell) or WEBconfig with SSL­encryption. 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.
EN
Additionally, the switches support TACACS+, a protocol for authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA). It thus provides access to the network for certain authorized users only, it regulates the rights of those users, and it is a logging mechanism to keep track of user actions.
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.
1.1 Key Features in the Device
쮿 QoS:
Support Quality of Service by the IEEE 802.1P standard. There are two priority queue and packet transmission schedule using Weighted Round

VLANs and VLAN ID 1~4094.
쮿 Port Trunking:
Support static port trunking and port trunking with IEEE 802.3ad LACP.
쮿 Bandwidth Control:
Support ingress and egress per port bandwidth control.
쮿 Port Security:
Support allowed, denied forwarding and port security with MAC address.
쮿 SNMP/RMON:
SNMP agent and RMON MIB. In the device, SNMP agent is a client soft­ware which is operating over SNMP protocol used to receive the command from SNMP manager (server site) and echo the corresponded data, i.e. MIB object. Besides, SNMP agent will actively issue TRAP information when happened.
RMON is the abbreviation of Remote Network Monitoring and is a branch of the SNMP MIB.
The device supports MIB-2 (RFC 1213), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), RMON MIB (RFC 1757)-statistics Group 1,2,3,9, Ethernet-like MIB (RFC 1643), Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643) and so on.
쮿 TACACS+
Tacacs+ (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System) is a protocol for authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA). It thus provides access to the network for certain authorized users only, it regulates the rights of those users, and it is a logging mechanism to keep track of user actions. TACACS+ is an alternative to other AAA protocols such as RADIUS.
쮿 IGMP Snooping:
Support IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236): The function IGMP snooping is used to establish the multicast groups to forward the multicast packet to the

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 "172.23.56.250".
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".

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.
Log on with user name and password (default: admin, admin).
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.
EN
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:
Baud rate: 115200
Stop bits: 1
Data bits: 8
Parity: N
Flow control: None

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.
EN
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
Working configuration:
saved as the start 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.
User configuration:
This configuration exists for specific requirements or for making backups. You can save any state of the working configuration as a user configura­tion and restore this state later or with the function “Restore user confi­guration”.
Default configuration

If the start configuration is defective and the the device is not avai­lable via network, you use the serial configuration interface and the Command Line Interface to reload a functional start configuration.

쮿 Chapter 3: Configuring and monitoring the LANCOM switch
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.

This action starts the reset process and all settings will be reset to the
factory default state, including the administrator´s password and the auto DHCP setting.

쮿 Restore default configuration (includes default IP address)
Here you can reset the switch to its factory settings. The default configu­ration replaces the start configuration. The device is reset to Auto DHCP and it retrieves its IP address from a DHCP server in the network. If no DHCP server is available, the device takes the IP address

“172.23.56.250”.
쮿 Restore default configuration (excludes current IP address)
Here you can reset the switch to its factory settings. The default configu­ration replaces the start configuration. However, the switch’s current IP address as set up by the user is not changed and will NOT be restored to the default value.
쮿 Restore user configuration
Restore User Configuration function retrieves the previous confirmed wor­king configuration from the flash memory to update the start configura­tion. After restoring the configuration, the system’s start configuration is updated and activated after rebooting.
