Chapter 2
Getting Started
Connect a terminal to the switch to begin configuration.
In-band and Out-of-band Connectivity
Ask the system administrator to determine whether you will configure the switch for in-band or
out-of-band connectivity.
Configuring for In-band Connectivity
In-band connectivity allows you to access the switch from a remote workstation using the Ethernet
network. To use in-band connectivity, you must configure the switch with IP information (IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
Configure for In-band connectivity using one of the following methods:
• BootP or DHCP
• EIA-232 port
Using BootP or DHCP
You can assign IP information initially over the network or over the Ethernet service port through
BootP or DHCP. Check with your system administrator to determine whether BootP or DHCP is
enabled.
You need to configure the BootP or DHCP server with information about the switch—obtain this
information through the serial port connection using the
server with the following values:
show network command. Set up the
IP Address Unique IP address for the switch. Each IP parameter is made up of
four decimal numbers, ranging from 0 to 255. The default for all IP
parameters is zeroes (0.0.0.0).
Subnet Subnet mask for the LAN
gateway IP address of the default router, if the switch is a node outside the IP
range of the LAN
2-5

NETGEAR 7000 Series Managed Switch Administration Guide Version 6.0
MAC Address MAC address of the switch
When you connect the switch to the network for the first time after setting up the BootP or DHCP
server, it is configured with the information supplied above. The switch is ready for in-band
connectivity over the network.
If you do not use BootP or DHCP, access the switch through the EIA-232 port, and configure the
network information as described below.
Using the EIA-232 Port
You can use a locally or remotely attached terminal to configure in-band management through the
EIA-232 port.
1. To use a locally attached terminal, attach one end of a null-modem serial cable to the EIA-232
port of the switch and the other end to the COM port of the terminal or workstation.
For remote attachment, attach one end of the serial cable to the EIA-232 port of the switch and
the other end to the modem.
2. Set up the terminal for VT100 terminal emulation.
a. Set the terminal ON.
b. Launch the VT100 application.
3. Configure the COM port as follows:
a. Set the data rate to 115,200 baud.
b. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
c. Set the flow control to none.
d. Select the proper mode under Properties.
e. Select Terminal keys.
The Log-in User prompt displays when the terminal interface initializes.
4. Enter an approved user name and password. The default is admin for the user name and the
password is blank.
The switch is installed and loaded with the default configuration.
5. Reduce network traffic by turning off the Network Configuration Protocol. Enter the
following command:
configure network protocol none
6. Set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address by issue the following command:
config network parms ipaddress netmask gateway

7. T o enable these changes to be retained during a reset of the switch, type Ctrl-Z to return to the
main prompt, type save config at the main menu prompt, and type y to confirm the changes.
8. To view the changes and verify in-band information, issue the command: show network.
9. The switch is configured for in-band connectivity and ready for Web-based management.
Configuring for Out-Of-Band Connectivity
To monitor and configure the switch using out-of-band connectivity, use the console port to
connect the switch to a terminal desktop system running terminal emulation software. The console
port connector is a male DB-9 connector, implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE)
connector.
The following hardware is required to use the console port:
• VT100-compatible terminal, or a desktop, or a portable system with a serial port running
VT100 terminal emulation software.
• An RS-232 crossover cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port and the
appropriate connector for the terminal.
Perform the following tasks to connect a terminal to the switch console port using out-of-band
connectivity:
1. Connect an RS-232 crossover cable to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation
software.
2. Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:
a. Select the appropriate serial port (serial port 1 or serial port 2) to connect to the console.
b. Set the data rate to 115,200 baud.
c. Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
d. Set the flow control to none.

e. Select the proper mode under Properties.
f. Select Terminal keys.
Note: When using HyperT erminal with Microsoft W indows 2000, make sure that
you have Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later installed. With Windows
2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in HyperTerminal's
VT100 emulation. Go to www.microsoft.com for more information on
Windows 2000 service packs.
3. Connect the female connector of the RS-232 crossover cable directly to the switch console
port, and tighten the captive retaining screws.
Starting the Switch
1. Make sure that the switch console port is connected to a VT100 terminal or VT100 terminal
emulator via the RS-232 crossover cable.
2. Locate an AC power receptacle.
3. Deactivate the AC power receptacle.
4. Connect the switch to the AC receptacle.
5. Activate the AC power receptacle.
When the power is turned on with the local terminal already connected, the switch goes through a
power-on self-test (POST). POST runs every time the switch is initialized and checks hardware
components to determine if the switch is fully operational before completely booting. If POST
detects a critical problem, the startup procedure stops. If POST passes successfully, a valid
executable image is loaded into RAM. POST messages are displayed on the terminal and indicate
test success or failure. The boot process runs for approximately 60 seconds.
Initial Configuration
The initial simple configuration procedure is based on the following assumptions:
• The switch was not configured before and is in the same state as when you received it.
• The switch booted successfully.
2-8 Getting Started
v1.0, Jan 2007
NETGEAR 7000 Series Managed Switch Administration Guide Version 6.0
• The console connection was established and the console prompt appears on the screen of a
VT100 terminal or terminal equivalent.
The initial switch configuration is performed through the console port. After the initial
configuration, you can manage the switch either from the already-connected console port or
remotely through an interface defined during the initial configuration.
The switch is not configured with a default user name and password.
All of the settings below are necessary to allow the remote management of the switch through
Telnet (Telnet client) or HTTP (Web browser).
Before setting up the initial configuration of the switch, obtain the following information from
your network administrator:
• The IP address to be assigned to the management interface through which the switch is
managed.
• The IP subnet mask for the network.
• The IP address of the default gateway.
Initial Configuration Procedure
You can perform the initial configuration using the Easy Setup Wizard or by using the Command
Line Interface (CLI). The Setup Wizard automatically starts when the switch configuration file is
empty. You can exit the wizard at any point by entering [ctrl+z]. For more information on CLI
initial configuration, see the User’s Configuration Guide. This guide shows how to use the Setup
Wizard for initial switch configuration. The wizard s ets up t he following configuration on the
switch:
• Establishes the initial privileged user account with a valid password. The wizard configures
one privileged user account during the set up.
• Enables CLI login and HTTP access to use the local authentication setting only.
• Sets up the IP address for the management interface.
• Sets up the SNMP community string to be used by the SNMP manager at a given IP address.
You may choose to skip this step if SNMP management is not used for this switch.
• Allows you to specify the management server IP or permit SNMP access from all IP
addresses.
• Configures the default gateway IP address.

Software Installation
This section contains procedures to help you become acquainted quickly with the switch software.
Before installing switch software, you should verify that the switch operates with the most recent
firmware.
Quick Starting the Networking Device
1. Configure the switch for In-band or Out-of-Band connectivity. In-band connectivity allows
access to the software locally or from a remote workstation. You must configure the device
with IP information (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway).
2. Turn the Power ON.
3. Allow the device to load the software until the login prompt appears. The device initial state is
called the default mode.
4. When the prompt asks for operator login, do the following steps:
–Type admin
at the login prompt. Since a number of the Quick Setup commands require
administrator account rights, log in to an administrator account.
– Do not enter a password because the default mode does not use a password.
– Check the CLI User EXEC prompt is displayed.

• Uploading from Networking Device to Out-of-Band PC (Only XMODEM)
• Downloading from Out-of-Band PC to Networking Device (Only XMODEM)
• Downloading from TFTP Server
• Restoring factory defaults
If you configure any network parameters, you should execute the following command:
copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
This command saves the changes to the configuration file. You must be in the correct mode to
execute the command. If you do not save the configuration, all changes are lost when a you power
down or reset the networking device. In a stacking environment, the running configuration is saved
in all units of the stack.
