For secure access, point your web browser to

https://ip-address

where ip-addressis the interface’s IP address.

11.At the login prompt, enter the user name and password

The default username is manager:

User Name: manager

Password: friend

The System Status page is displayed (see Figure 6 on page 31). Select options from the sidebar menu to configure and manage the switch.

Option 3: Connecting to an Installed Switch

Use this procedure if:

■At least one interface on the switch already has an IP address, and the switch is already installed in a LAN.

1.Find out the IP address of the switch’s interface

Ask your system administrator. Alternatively, access the CLI, as described in “Connecting a Terminal or PC” on page 12, and enter the command:

SHOW IP INTERFACE

You can browse to the switch through any VLAN, as long as you give that VLAN an IP address (see below). These instructions assume you will use vlan1. The switch ports all belong to vlan1 by default.

2.Select a PC

You can browse to the GUI from any PC that:

•has an IP address in the same subnet as the switch, or that the switch has a route to

•is running a supported operating system

•has a supported browser installed, with JavaScript enabled

See “Browser and PC Setup” on page 22 for more information.

3.If necessary, bypass the HTTP proxy server

See “HTTP Proxy Servers” on page 23 for more information.

4.Browse to the switch

For normal access, point your web browser to http://ip-address

where ip-addressis the interface’s IP address.

To access the switch securely if SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) has been configured on the interface, point your web browser to

https://ip-address

This versatility allows the switches to perform both basic switching and advanced routing functions, facilitating efficient data traffic management. The series supports a wide range of standard protocols, including VLANs, STP, and RSTP, ensuring smooth and flexible network segmentation.

Another critical characteristic is the series' high-speed connectivity options. With multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, the AT-8700XL series can handle significant data loads, ensuring seamless communication between connected devices. Furthermore, some models within the series offer 10 Gigabit uplink ports, providing the necessary bandwidth to connect to core networks or high-speed servers.

The AT-8700XL series incorporates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features that enable network administrators to prioritize traffic effectively. This is particularly crucial for applications sensitive to latency, such as VoIP and video conferencing. By ensuring that time-sensitive data packets are transmitted promptly, the switches help maintain optimal performance across the entire network.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is yet another advantage of the AT-8700XL series. This feature allows the switches to deliver power to connected devices, such as IP cameras and wireless access points, via the Ethernet cable. This capability simplifies installations by reducing the need for additional power sources, ultimately saving on costs and improving efficiency.

Security is paramount in any network, and the AT-8700XL series does not disappoint. The switches employ robust security protocols, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), MAC address filtering, and DHCP snooping, to protect against unauthorized access and ensure network integrity.

In summary, Allied Telesis AT-8700XL Series Switches offer a comprehensive solution for various networking needs. With their Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, high-speed connectivity, QoS features, PoE support, and security measures, these switches are well-equipped to enhance network efficiency and reliability, making them an excellent choice for organizations looking to future-proof their infrastructure.
