Configuring the iMatrix Switch

The iMatrix Switch is configured with default values that allow you to install the iMatrix Switch and then modify parameters from Web Manager or SNMP Manager.

The defaults values are:

IP Address: 10.60.0.123

Netmask: 255.255.0.0

Monitor Ports 1-4: Gigabit

CLI username: netoptics

CLI password: netoptics

You can set all parameters, check status, and control Monitor Port connections from the Command Line Interface. You can change most settings later from one of the remote interfaces.

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

All configuration and control options are accessible from the iMatrix Switch's Command Line Interface. You must set a new username and password, IP address for the iMatrix Switch, and the port speeds. Other parameters are optional and dependent on your installation.

For security reasons, some parameters can only be set with the CLI.

Use these commands to:

Set CLI username and password

Enable or disable the remote interfaces

Turn character echo to the terminal emulation software on or off

If you wish to disable the Management Port and remote interfaces, you can do so from the CLI using the Display command.

To access the iMatrix Switch CLI:

1.Make sure power to the iMatrix Switch is off.

2.Connect a PC with terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal, to the iMatrix Switch Control Port 2 using the RS232 DB-9 cable supplied with the iMatrix Switch.
