1.1 Accessing the device
1.1.1 Introduction
The A10E/A28E can be configured and managed in Command Line Interface (CLI) mode or
NView NNM network management mode.
The A10E/A28E CLI mode has a variety of configuration modes:
Console mode: it must be used for the first configuration. The A10E/A28E supports the
Console interface of RJ-45 type or USB type.
Telnet mode: log in through the Console mode, open Telnet service on the Switch,
configure Layer 3 interface IP address, set the user name and password, and then take
remote Telnet configuration.
SSHv2 mode: before accessing the A10E/A28E through SSHv2, you need to log in to the
A10E/A28E and start the SSHv2 service through the Console interface.
When configuring the A10E/A28E in network management mode, you must first configure
Layer 3 interface IP address in CLI, and then configure the A10E/A28E through NView NNM
system.

The configuration steps in this manual are in command line mode.
1.1.2 Accessing from the Console interface
The Console interface is a command interface used for network device to connect to a PC
with terminal emulation program. You can take this interface to configure and manage the
local device. In this management method, the A10E/A28E can communicate directly without
a network, so it is called out-of-band management. You can also perform configuration and
management on the A10E/A28E through the Console interface when the network runs out of
order.
In the below two conditions, you can only log in to the A10E/A28E and configure it through
the Console port:
The A10E/A28E is powered on to start for the first time.
You cannot access the A10E/A28E through Telnet.
When logging in to the A10E/A28E through the Console interface, use the CBLRS232-DB9F/RJ45-2m cable delivered with the A10E/A28E. If you need to make the
Console serial port cable, see A10E/A28E Hardware Description.
If you want to access the A10E/A28E through PC via Console interface, connect Console
interface and PC RS-232 serial port, as shown in Figure 1-1; then run the terminal emulation
program such as Windows XP Hyper Terminal program in PC to configure communication
parameters as shown in Figure 1-2, and then log in to the A10E/A28E.

Windows Vista or Windows 7, download Hyper Terminal program from internet. It is
free to download HyperTerminal program.
1.1.3 Accessing from Telnet
You can use a PC to log in to the A10E/A28E remotely through Telnet. You can log in to an
A10E/A28E from PC at first, then Telnet other A10E/A28E devices on the network. You do
not need to connect a PC to each A10E/A28E.
Telnet service provided by the A10E/A28E includes:
Telnet Server: run the Telnet client program on a PC to log in to the A10E/A28E, and
take configuration and management. As shown in Figure 1-3, the A10E/A28E is
providing Telnet Server service at this time.
Figure 1-3 Networking with the A10E/A28E as Telnet server
Before accessing the A10E/A28E through Telnet, you need to log in to the A10E/A28E
through the Console interface and start the Telnet service. Take the following configurations
on the A10E/A28E that needs to start Telnet service.

program or Telnet client program on a PC, then telnet other A10E/A28E and
configure/manage them. As shown in Figure 1-4, Switch A not only acts as Telnet server
but also provides Telnet client service.

Configure Telnet Client device as below.
1.1.4 Accessing from SSHv2
Telnet is lack of security authentication and it transports packet by Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) which exists with big potential security hazard. Telnet service may cause
hostile attacks, such as Deny of Service (DoS), host IP deceive, and routing deceiving.
The traditional Telnet and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transmits password and data in
plaintext cannot satisfy users' security demands. SSHv2 is a network security protocol, which
can effectively prevent the disclosure of information in remote management through data

encryption, and provides greater security for remote login and other network services in
network environment.
SSHv2 allows data to be exchanged via TCP and it builds up a secure channel over TCP.
Besides, SSHv2 supports other service ports besides standard port 22, thus to avoid illegal
attack from network.
Before accessing the A10E/A28E via SSHv2, you must log in to the A10E/A28E through
Console interface and starts up SSHv2 service.
The default configuration to accessing the A10E/A28E through SSHv2 is as follows.
Configure SSHv2 service for the A10E/A28E as below.

1.1.5 Checking configurations
Use the following commands to check the configuration results.
1.2 CLI
1.2.1 Introduction
CLI is the path for communication between user and the A10E/A28E. You can complete
device configuration, monitor and management by executing relative commands.
You can log in to the A10E/A28E through PC that run terminal emulation program or the
CPE device, enter into CLI once the command prompt appears.
The features of CLI:
Local configuration via Console interface is available.

Local or remote configuration via Telnet, Secure Shell v2 (SSHv2) is available.
Protection for different command levels, users in different level can only execute
commands in related level.
Different command types belong to different command modes. You can only execute a
type of configuration in its related command mode.
You can operate the commands by shortcut keys.
You can view or execute a historical command by transferring history record. The
A10E/A28E supports saving the latest 20 historical commands.
Online help is available by inputting "?" at any time.
Smart analysis methods such as incomplete matching and context association, etc.
facilitate user input.
1.2.2 Command line level
The A10E/A28E uses hierarchy protection methods to divide command line into 16 levels
from low to high.
0–4: visitor, users can execute the commands of ping, clear, and history, etc. in this
level;
5–10: monitor, users can execute the command of show and so on;
11–14: operator, users can execute commands for different services like VLAN, IP, etc.;
15: administrator, used for system basic running commands.
1.2.3 Command line mode
Command line mode is the CLI environment. All system commands are registered in one (or
some) command line mode, the command can only run under the corresponding mode.
Establish a connection with the A10E/A28E. If the A10E/A28E is in default configuration, it
will enter user EXEC mode, and the screen will display:

Input the enable command and correct password, and then enter privileged EXEC mode. The
default password is admin.

command of hostname string to modify the host name in privileged EXEC mode.
Some commands can be used both in global configuration mode and other modes,
but the accomplished functions are closely related to command line modes.
Generally, in a command line mode, you can go back to the previous level
command line mode by the command of quit or exit, but in the privileged EXEC
mode, you need to use disable command to go back to user EXEC mode.
Users can go back to privileged EXEC mode through the end command from any
command line mode except the user EXEC mode or privileged EXEC mode.
