ANAGEMENT

Configuration Options

For advanced management capability, the TigerSwitch 1000 management agent provides a menu-driven system configuration program. This program can be accessed by a direct or modem connection to the serial port on the front panel (out-of-band), or by a Telnet connection over the network (in-band).

The management agent is based on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This SNMP agent permits the switch to be managed from any PC in the network using in-band management software (such as SMC’s EliteView).

The management agent also includes an embedded HTTP Web agent. This Web agent can be accessed using a standard Web browser from any computer attached to the network.

The system configuration program and the SNMP agent support management functions such as:

• Enable/disable any port

• Set the communication mode for any port

• Configure SNMP parameters

• Configure VLANs or multicast filtering

• Display system information or statistics

• Configure the switch to join a Spanning Tree

• Download system firmware

• Restart the system

1-1

WITCH MANAGEMENT

Required Connections

Console Port (Out-of-Band) Connections

Attach a VT100 compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the serial port on the switch’s front panel. Use the null-modem cable provided with this package, or use a null modem connection that complies with the wiring assignments shown in Appendix B of this guide.

When attaching to a PC, set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 19200 bps (for initial configuration). Also be sure to set flow control to “none.” (Refer to “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 2-17 for a complete description of configuration options.)

Note: If the default settings for the switch’s serial port have been

modified and you are having difficulty making a console connection, you can display or modify the current settings using a Web browser as described under “Configuring the Serial Port” on page 3-6.

WITCH MANAGEMENT

Remote Management via the Console Port

Configure the Switch Site

Connect the switch’s DB9 serial port to the modem’s serial port using standard cabling. For most modems which use a 25-pin port, you will have to provide an RS-232 cable with a 9-pin connector on one end and a 25-pin connector on the other end. Set the modem at the switch’s site to force auto-answer mode. The following is a sample initialization string: “ATQ1 S0=1&D0&K0&W” as defined below:

Q1 : Inhibit result codes to DTE S0=1 : Auto answer on first ring D0 : Don’t care DTR K0 : Disables DTE/DCE flow control W : Write command to modem memory

Configure the Remote Site

At the remote site, connect the PC’s COM port (COM 1~4) to the modem’s serial port. Set terminal emulation type to VT100, specify the port used by your PC (i.e., COM 1~4), and then set communications to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 19200 bps and no flow control.

1-3

WITCH MANAGEMENT

In-Band Connections

Prior to accessing the switch via a network connection, you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway using an out-of-band connection or the BOOTP protocol.

After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the on-board configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The on-board configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a Web browser (Internet Explorer 4.0, or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above), or from a network computer using network management software such as EliteView.

Notes: 1. By default BOOTP is disabled. To enable BOOTP, see

“IP Configuration” on page 2-13.

2. Use the Network Configuration menu to specify the maximum number of simultaneous Telnet sessions that are supported by the system (up to four).

3. The on-board program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMPbased network management software, such as SMC’s free EliteView software.

Log-in Screen

Once a direct connection to the serial port or a Telnet connection is established, the log-in screen for the onboard configuration program appears as shown below.

User name : Enter Password :

If this is your first time to log into the configuration program, then the default user names are “admin” and “guest,” with no password. The administrator has Read/Write access to all configuration parameters and statistics. While the guest has Read Only access to the management program.

You should define a new administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. Select Console Login Configuration from the Management Setup Menu and enter a new password for the administrator. Note that passwords can consist of up to 11 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.

Management Setup Menu

After initially logging onto the system, adjust the communication parameters for your console to ensure a reliable connection (Serial Port Configuration). Specify the IP addresses for the switch (Network Configuration / IP Configuration), and then set the Administrator and User passwords (Console Login Configuration). Remember to record them in a safe place. Also set the community string which controls SNMP access to the switch via in-band management software (SNMP Configuration). The items provided by the Management Setup Menu are described in the following sections.

Parameter Default Description

2-12

Interface

Ethernet Indicates IP over Ethernet.

Type

IP Address 10.1.0.1 IP address of the switch you are

managing when accessing it over the network. The switch supports SNMP over UDP/IP transport protocol. In this environment, all systems on the Internet, such as network interconnection devices and any PC accessing the switch must have an IP address.

Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, of 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything outside of this format will not be accepted by the configuration program.

Parameter Default Description

Subnet Mask

255.255.0.0 Subnet mask of the switch. This mask identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.

ONSOLE INTERFACE

Default Gateway

IP State USER-

CONFIG

The gateway that the switch’s agent uses to pass data to the management station. Note that the gateway must be defined if the management station is located in a different IP segment.

Specifies whether IP functionality is enabled via manual configuration, or set by Boot Protocol (BootP). Options include:

USER-CONFIG -IP functionality is enabled based on the default or user specified IP configuration.

BOOTP-GET-IP - IP is enabled but will not function until a BootP reply has been received. BootP requests will be broadcast 10 times, once every second, in an effort to learn its IP address. If no response is received, the switch will use the default IP setting in NVRAM. (BootP values can include the IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask.)
