Switch Management Overview
This chapter gives an overview of switch management, including the methods you can use to
manage your NETGEAR NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch.
•Management Access Overview
•SNMP Access
•Protocols
Scope
The 7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Software software has two purposes:
•Assist attached hardware in switching frames, based on Layer 2 or 3 information contained in
the frames.
•Provide a complete switch management portfolio for the network administrator.
Switch Management Overview
Fast Ethernet (FEN) and Gigabit Ethernet (GEN) switching continues to evolve from high-end
backbone applications to desktop switching applications. The price of the technology continues to
decline, while performance and feature sets continue to improve. Devices that are capable of
switching Layers 2, 3, and 4 are increasingly in demand. The NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3
Managed Switch provides a flexible solution to these ever-increasing needs.
The NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch provides the network administrator with a
set of comprehensive management functions for managing both the 7300 and the network. The
network administrator has a choice of three easy-to-use management methods:
•Web-based
•VT100 interface
Note: The maximum number of configuration file command lines is 2000 .
Switch Management Overview2-1
202-10009-01
User Manual for the NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch Software
•Simple Network Protocol Management (SNMP)
Each management method enables the network administrator to configure, manage, and control
the managed switch locally or remotely using in-band or out-of-band mechanisms. Management is
standards-based, with configuration parameters and a private MIB providing control for functions
not completely specified in the MIBs.

Chapter 3
Administration Console Telnet Interface
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, VT-100/ANSI menu-driven user
interface for performing management activities. Using this method, you can view the
administration console from a terminal, PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation connected to
the switch’s console port. Figure 3-1 shows an example of this management method.
The direct access management method is required when you initially set up your switch.
Thereafter, the convenience and additional features of the Web management access method make
it the best method to manage the switch. See “W eb Based Management Overview” on page 4-2 for
more information.
Direct access to the switch console is achiev ed by connecting the switch’s console port to a
VT-100 or compatible terminal or to a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation equipped with
a terminal-emulation program. This connection is made using the null-modem cable supplied with
the switch.
Administration Console Telnet Interface3-1
202-10009-01

Web-Based Management Interface
Your NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch provides a built-in browser interface that
lets you configure and manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.
This interface also allows for system monitoring and management of the switch. The ‘help’ page
covers many of the basic functions and features of the switch and it’s web interface.
When you configure the switch for the first time from the console, you can assign an IP address
and subnet mask to the switch. Thereafter, you can access the switch’ s Web interface directly using
your W eb browser by entering the switch’s IP address into the address bar. In this way, you can use
your Web browser to manage the switch from a central location, just as if you were directly
connected to the switch’s console port. Figure 4-1 shows this management method.

Command Line Interface Syntax5-1
202-10009-01
User Manual for the NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch Software
Command
The text in bold, non-italic font must be typed exactly as shown.
Parameters
Parameters are order dependent.
The text in bold italics should be replaced with a name or number. To use spaces as part of a name
parameter, enclose it in double quotes like this: "System Name with Spaces".
Parameters may be mandatory values, optional values, choices or a combination.
–<parameter>. The <> angle brackets indicate that a mandatory parameter must be entered
in place of the brackets and text inside them.
–[parameter]. The [] square brackets indicate that an optional parameter must be entered in
place of the brackets and text inside them.
–choice1|choice2. The | indicates that only one of the parameters should be entered.
Values
ipAddr This parameter is a valid IP address, made up of four decimal
bytes ranging from 0 to 255. The default for all IP parameters
consists of zeros and a one (that is, 0.0.0.1). The interface IP
address of 0.0.0.0 is invalid. In some cases, the IP address can
also be entered as a 32-bit number.
macAddr The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated
by colons, for example, 0:6:29:32:81:40.
areaid Area IDs may be entered in dotted-decimal notation (for example,
0.0.0.1). An area ID of 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the backbone. Area
IDs have the same form as IP addresses, but are distinct from IP
addresses. The IP network number of the subnetted network may
be used for the area ID.
routerid The value of <router id> must be entered in 4-digit dotted-deci-
mal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). A router ID of 0.0.0.0 is
invalid.
slot.port This parameter denotes a valid slot number and a valid port num-
ber. For example, 0.1 represents slot number 0 and port number 1.
5-2Command Line Interface Syntax
202-10009-01
User Manual for the NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch Software
The <slot.port> field is composed of a valid slot number and a
valid port number separated by a period (.).
logical slot.port This parameter denotes a logical slot number and logical port
number assigned. This is applicable in the case of a LAG. The
operator can use the logical slot number and the logical port number to configure the LAG.
Conventions
Network address are used to define a link to a remote host, workstation or network. Network
addresses are shown using the following syntax:
Table 1. Network Address Syntax
Address TypeFormatRange
ipAddr
macAddr
A.B.C.D0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
(decimal)
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YYhexidecimal digit pairs
Double quotation marks such as "System Name with Spaces" set off user-defined strings. If the
operator wants to use spaces as part of a name parameter, it must be enclosed in double quotation
marks.
Entering '@' in front of any command will allow the user to reference any root command from
anywhere in the tree. For example, '>config router>@show arp table' will display the ARP table
even though the command was not executed from the root level.
Command completion finishes spelling the command when enough letters of a command are typed
to uniquely identify the command word. The command may be executed by typing <enter>
(command abbreviation) or the command word may be completed by typing the <tab> or <space
bar> (command completion).
The value 'Err' designates that the requested value was not internally accessible. This should never
happen and indicates that there is a case in the software that is not handled correctly.
The value of '-----' designates that the value is unknown.

User Manual for the NETGEAR 7300 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch Software
Annotations
The CLI allows the user to type single-line annotations at the command prompt for use when
writing test or configuration scripts and for better readability . The exclamation point (‘!’) character
flags the beginning of a comment. The comment flag character can begin a word anywhere on the
command line and all input following this character is ignored. Any command line that begins
with the character ‘!’ is recognized as a comment line and ignored by the parser.

This chapter contains the following Quick Startup examples:
•“System Info and System Setup” on page 6-2
•“Configuration Examples” on page 6-8
•“VLAN Example” on page 6-12
Quick Starting the Switch
1.Read the device Installation Guide for the connectivity procedure. In-band connectivity allows
access to the 7000 Series L3 Managed Switch Software locally or from a remote workstation.
The device must be configured with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway).
2.Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial state is
called the default mode.
3.When the prompt asks for operator login, execute the following steps:
•Type the word admin in the login area. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands
require administrator account rights, log in using an administrator account.
•Do not enter a password because there is no password in the default mode.
•Press the enter key two times.

VLAN Example
LAN switches can segment networks into logically defined virtual workgroups.This logical
segmentation is commonly referred as a virtual LAN (VLAN). This logical segmentation of
devices provides better LAN administration, security, and management of broadcast activity over
the network. V irtual LANs have become an integral feature of switched LAN solutions.
The VLAN example below demonstrates a simple VLAN configuration with a 7000 Series L3
Managed Switch.
If a single port is a member of VLANs 2, 3 and 4, the port expects to see traffic tagged with either
VLAN 2,3 or 4.
The PVID (Port Vi rtual Identificat ion) could be something entirely different, for example '12' and
things would still work fine, just so incoming traffic was tagged.
Example:
•Project A = (VLAN2, ports 1,2)
•Project B = (VLAN3, ports 3,4)
•Project C = (VLAN4, ports 5,6)
•Project P = (VLAN 9, port 7)

Solution 1
All traffic entering the ports is tagged traffic. Since the traffic is tagged, the PVID configuration
for each port is not a concern. The network card configuration is as follows:
•Devices on Project A should tag all traffic with 'VLAN 2'
•Devices on Project B should tag all traffic with 'VLAN 3'
•Devices on Project C should tag all traffic with 'VLAN 4'
•Devices on Project P should tag all traffic with 'VLAN 9'
Solution 2
The network card configuration for devices on Project A, B and C should be set to NOT tag traffic.
To take care of these untagged frames configure the following:
•config vlan ports pvid 2 0.1
•config vlan ports pvid 2 0.2
•config vlan ports pvid 3 0.3
•config vlan ports pvid 3 0.4
•config vlan ports pvid 4 0.5

show snmpcommunity
This command displays SNMP community information.
Six communities are supported. You can add, change, or delete communities. The switch does not
have to be reset for changes to take effect.
The SNMP agent of the switch complies with SNMP Version 1 (for more about the SNMP
specification, see the SNMP RFCs). The SNMP agent sends traps through TCP/IP to an external
SNMP manager based on the SNMP configuration (the trap receiver and other SNMP community
parameters).
Format show snmpcommunity
SNMP Community Name The community string to which this entry grants access. A valid entry is a case-
sensitive alphanumeric string of up to 16 characters. Each row of this table must
contain a unique community name.
Client IP Address An IP address (or portion thereof) from which this device will accept SNMP
packets with the associated community. The requesting entity's IP address is
ANDed with the Subnet Mask before being compared to the IP Address. Note:
that if the Subnet Mask is set to 0.0.0.0, an IP Address of 0.0.0.0 matches all IP
addresses. The default value is 0.0.0.0
Client IP Mask A mask to be ANDed with the requesting entity's IP address before comparison
with IP Address. If the result matches with IP Address then the address is an
authenticated IP address. For example, if the IP Address = 9.47.128.0 and the
corresponding Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0 a range of incoming IP addresses
would match, i.e. the incoming IP Address could equal 9.47.128.0 -
9.47.128.255. The default value is 0.0.0.0
Access Mode The access level for this community string. May be specified by selecting Read/
Write or Read Only from the pull-down. Updates will be made to the switch by
pressing the Submit button.
Status The status of this commu nity access entry. When thi s obje ct is set to enabled, if
