Configuring the Switch Using the Console Interface

Overview

The Switch’s menu-driven configuration program may be configured using the console port, a Web browser, telnet, or SNMP/RMON. The remote manage- ment methods can be used once the IP parameters have been set via the local console.

Logging On to the Switch

When logging on to the Switch, you will receive the following screen prompt:

User Name:

Password:

Enter the default user name, admin, in the User Name field, and press Enter. Do not enter anything for the Password, and press Enter.

When you select User Configuration from the Management Setup Menu, you will be allowed to define a new administrator password.

Main Menu

After you log on to the Switch, the Main Menu screen will appear.

The Main Menu screen consists of a series of options. Each option leads you to the screen for that management setting. Highlighting any option selects it; pressing the Enter key takes you to that screen.

To navigate through the Console Interface, use the Tab or arrow keys to move, the Enter key to select, and the Esc key to return to the previous selection. Scroll through choices using the spacebar. Options for the currently selected item are displayed in the highlighted area at the bottom of the interface screen.

The text string in the top right corner of the screen shows if the Switch is oper- ating as a Layer 2 switch or as a multilayer routing switch. The default is multi- layer.

•System Information Menu - Displays a basic description of the switch, including contact information, hardware and firmware versions, uptime, and location.

•Management Setup Menu - Configures the IP address for the Switch, seri- al port settings for console management, SNMP parameters, and user privi- leges.

•Device Control Menu - Controls a broad range of functions, including port mode, port mirroring, port trunking, spanning tree, VLANs, IP subnets, mul- ticast filtering, and routing protocols.
