Accessing the SwitchOverview
1
Overview
You can access and manage the switch using the GUI (Graphical User Interface, also called
web interface in this text) or using the CLI (Command Line Interface). There are equivalent
functions in the web interface and the command line interface, while web configuration is
easier and more visual than the CLI configuration. You can choose the method according
to their available applications and preference.
Configuration Guide 4
Accessing the SwitchWeb Interface Access
2
Web Interface Access
You can access the switch’s web interface through the web-based authentication.
The switch uses two built-in web servers, HTTP server and HTTPS server, for user
authentication.
The following example shows how to login via the HTTP server.
2.1 Login
To manage your switch through a web browser in the host PC:
1) Make sure that the route between the host PC and the switch is available.
2) Launch a web browser. The supported web browsers include, but are not limited to, the
following types:
IE 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0
Firefox 26.0, 27.0
Chrome 32.0, 33.0
3) Enter the switch’s IP address in the web browser’s address bar. The switch’s default IP
address is 192.168.0.1.
Figure 2-1 Enter the switch's IP addresss in the browser
4) Enter the username and password in the pop-up login window. Use admin for both
username and password in lower case letters.

5) The typical web interface displays below. You can view the switch’s running status and
configure the switch on this interface.

2.2 Save Config Function
The switch’s configuration files fall into two types: the running configuration file and the
start-up configuration file.
After you perform configurations on the sub-interfaces and click Apply, the modifications
will be saved in the running configuration file. The configurations will be lost when the
switch reboots.
If you need to keep the configurations after the switch reboots, please use the Save
function on the main interface to save the configurations in the start-up configuration file.

2.4 Change the Switch's IP Address and Default Gateway
If you want to access the switch, you can configure the system IP address of the switch.
If you want the switch to accss a network, you can configure the default gateway of the
switch. Only the computers in the management VLAN can access the management
interface of the switch. By default, VLAN 1 owning all the ports is the management
VLAN and you can access the switch via any port. By default, the system IP address is
192.168.0.1, and the switch has no default gateway. The following example shows how to
change the system IP address and default gateway of the switch,
1) Go to
SYSTEM > System Info > System IP
. Specify the management VLAN ID. Specify
the IP address mode as Static. Enter the new IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway. Make sure that the route between the host PC and the switch’s new IP address
is available. Click Apply.

Command Line Interface Access
Users can access the switch's command line interface through the console (only for switch
with console port), Telnet or SSH connection, and manage the switch with the command
lines.
Console connection requires the host PC connecting to the switch’s console port directly,
while Telnet and SSH connection support both local and remote access.
The following table shows the typical applications used in the CLI access.

3.2 Telnet Login
The switch supports Login Local Mode for authentication by default.
Login Local Mode: Username and password are required, which are both admin by default.
The following steps show how to manage the switch via the Login Local Mode:
1) Make sure the switch and the PC are in the same LAN (Local Area Network). Click Start
and type in cmd in the Search bar and press Enter.
Figure 3-3 Open the cmd Window
2) Type in telnet 192.168.0.1 in the cmd window and press Enter.

Now you can manage your switch with CLI commands through Telnet connection.
3.3 SSH Login
SSH login supports the following two modes: Password Authentication Mode and Key
Authentication Mode. You can choose one according to your needs:
Password Authentication Mode: Username and password are required, which are both
admin by default.
Key Authentication Mode (Recommended): A public key for the switch and a private key
for the client software (PuTTY) are required. You can generate the public key and the
private key through the PuTTY Key Generator.
Before logging in via SSH, follow the steps below to enable SSH on the terminal emulation
program:

Configuration Guide 14
Accessing the SwitchCommand Line Interface Access
3) On Hyper Terminal, download the public key file from the TFTP server to the switch as
shown in the following figure:
Figure 3-12 Download the Public Key to the Switch
Note:
The key type should accord with the type of the key file. In the above CLI, v1 corresponds to
•
SSH-1 (RSA), and v2 corresponds to SSH-2 RSA and SSH-2 DSA.
The key downloading process cannot be interrupted.
•
4) After the public key is downloaded, open PuTTY and go to the Session page. Enter the
IP address of the switch and select SSH as the Connection type (keep the default value
in the Port field).

System
1.1 Overview
In System module, you can view the system information and configure the system
parameters and features of the switch.
1.2 Supported Features
System Info
You can view the switch’s port status and system information, and configure the device
description, system time, daylight saving time, and system IP/IPv6 (Only for T1500/T1500G
Series Switches).
User Management
You can manage the user accounts for login to the switch. There are multiple user types
which have different access levels, and you can create different user accounts according
to your need.
System Tools
You can configure the boot file of the switch, backup and restore the configurations,
update the firmware, reset the switch, and reboot the switch.
EEE
EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is used to save power consumption of the switch during
periods of low data activity. You can simply enable this feature on ports to allow power
reduction.
PoE
Note
:
Only T1500-28PCT, T1500G-10MPS and T1500G-10PS support the PoE feature.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a remote power supply function. With this function, the switch
can supply power to the connected devices over twisted-pair cable.
Some devices such as IP phones, access points (APs) and cameras may be located far
away from the AC power source in actual use. PoE can provide power for these devices
without requiring to deploy power cables. This allows a single cable to provide both data
connection and electric power to devices.
Configuration Guide 20
Managing SystemSystem
IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at are both PoE standards. The standard process of PoE power
supply contains powered-device discovery, power administration, disconnect detection
and optional power-device power classification.
PSE
Power sourcing equipment (PSE) is a device that provides power for PDs on the Ethernet,
for example, the PoE switch. PSE can detect the PDs and determine the device power
requirements.
PD
Powered device (PD) is a device receiving power from the PSE, for example, IP phones and
access points. According to whether PDs comply with IEEE standard, they can be classified
into standard PDs and non-standard PDs. Only standard PDs can be powered via TP-Link
PoE switches.
SDM Template
SDM (Switch Database Management) Template is used to prioritize hardware resources for
certain features. The switch provides three templates which allocate different hardware
resources for different usage, and you can choose one according to your need.
Time Range
With this feature, you can configure a time range and bind it to a PoE port or an ACL rule.
