3.2 Management Methods
There are four ways to manage the Layer 3 Managed Switch:
- Local Console Management via the serial port of Layer 3 Managed Switch.
- Remote Console Management via a network or dial-up connection.
- Web Management via a network or dial-up connection.
-Using SNMP Network Management Station.
3.2.1 Local Console Management
You can manage the Layer 3 Managed Switch locally by connecting a VT100 terminal, or a personal computer or workstation with terminal emulation software, to the serial port of Layer 3 Managed Switch. The terminal or w orkstation connects
to the serial port of Layer 3 Managed Switch, using a null modem cable that has the appropriate connectors on each end.
This management method is ideal when:
- The network is unreliable.
- The Network Manager does not have direct network connection.
The serial port of Layer 3 Managed Switch, default setting is set to 9600 baud using a character format of 8 data bits, no
parity, and 1 stop bit.
Therefore, configure the terminal or workstation to use these settings before you log on to the Layer 3 Managed Switch.
You can change this default setting, if desired, after you log on.
3.2.2 Remote Console Management
You can manage the Layer 3 Managed Switch remotely by having a remote host establish a Telnet connection to
Layer 3 Managed Switch via an Ethernet or modem link.
the
Using this management method:
The
Layer 3 Managed Switch must have an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
The Remote Console Management interface is identical in appearance and functionality to the Local Console
Management interface described in the previous section.
3.2.3 Web Management
You can manage the Layer 3 Managed Switch remotely by having a remote host with web browser, such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
Using this management method:
The
Layer 3 Managed Switch must have an Internet Protocol (IP) address accessible for the remote host.
3.2.4 SNMP Management
You can manage the Layer 3 Managed Switch across a LAN using an SNMP Network Management Station with
a graphical user interface.
This management method lets you monitor statistical counters and set switch parameters from the remote
Network Management Station.
Using this management method:
- The network must run the IP protocol.
- The
Layer 3 Managed Switch must have an IP address.
- 14 -
3.3 Assigning an IP Address to the Layer 3 Managed Switch
To manage the Layer 3 Managed Switch remotely through the console port or with an SNMP Management Station, you
must assign an IP address to the Layer 3 Managed Switch.
The default IP address of the Layer 3 Managed Switch is “192.168.1.254”. If you want to change the IP address, for
example, change the IP address to “192.168.1.186” please input the following command:
Now the IP address has changed to 192.168.1.186. The changed IP address will remain the original after reboot unless
save the configuration. To do this, please input “exit” or “ex” command twice for return to previous configuration level and
input “WGS3-2840# copy running-config startup-config” command to save the current configuration.
You can access the Web interface of Layer 3 Managed Switch through the new IP address.
- 15 -
3.4 Logging on to the Layer 3 Managed Switch
When you log on to the Layer 3 Managed Switch console port for the first time, the following message asks the login access
password.
The factory default login password is admin.
#Notice:
1. For security reason, please change and memorize the new password after this first setup.
2. Only accept command in lowercase letter under console interface.
- 16 -
4. WEB MANAGEMENT
Before login the Web interface of Layer 3 Managed Switch, please setup the “IP Address” with local serial console port
(RS232 port) and use this IP address to configure Layer 3 Managed Switch through the Web interface.
Or modify your PC’s IP domain to the same with Layer 3 Managed Sw itch then use the default IP address (192.168.0.100)
to remote configure Layer 3 Managed Switch through the Web interface.
4.1 Login in to the Layer 3 Managed Switch
To access the Web-browser interface you must first enter the user name and password, the default user name and
password is "admin". You will see the following screen comes out on the Web browser program:
