Downloading Software with CLI

Initial Configuration

After making any configuration changes, the new configuration must be saved before rebooting. To save the configuration, enter the following CLI command: The following prompt is displayed:

Console# copy running-config startup-config

Configuration

The initial configuration, which starts after the device has booted successfully, includes static IP address and subnet mask configuration, and setting user name and privilege level to allow remote management. If the device is to be managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community strings must also be configured. The following basic configurations are required:

"Static IP Address and Subnet Mask"

"User Name"

Static IP Address and Subnet Mask

IP interfaces can be configured on each port of the device. After entering the configuration command, it is recommended to check if a port was configured with the IP address by entering the “show ip interface” command.

The commands to configure the device are port specific.

To manage the switch from a remote network, a static route must be configured, which is an IP address to where packets are sent when no entries are found in the device tables. The configured IP address must belong to the same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces.

To configure a static route, enter the required commands at the system prompt as shown in the following configuration example where 101.101.101.101 is the specific management station, and 5.1.1.100 is the static route:

Console# configure

Console(config)# interface vlan 1

Console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

Console(config-if)# exit

Console# ip route 192.168.2.0/24 100.1.1.33

Note

100.1.1.33is the IP address of the next hop that can be used to reach the management network 192.168.2.0.

To check the configuration, enter the command “show ip interface” as illustrated in the following example.

Console# show ip interface

AT-8000S specifications

The Allied Telesis AT-8000S series switches are a range of advanced Layer 2 Ethernet switches designed for efficient networking in various environments. Engineered with performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in mind, these switches are ideal for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure.

One of the main features of the AT-8000S series is its high-speed data forwarding capabilities. With support for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, these switches provide fast and reliable connections, enabling seamless data transfer and enhanced communication between devices. The non-blocking switching architecture ensures that full bandwidth is available at all times, maximizing throughput and reducing latency in network traffic.

The AT-8000S series incorporates advanced Layer 2 switching technologies, such as VLAN support, allowing users to segment network traffic for improved performance and security. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) help isolate sensitive data and reduce unnecessary broadcast traffic, enhancing the overall performance of the network.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another significant feature integrated into these switches, prioritizing different classes of network traffic. This functionality ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency, which is imperative for voice over IP, video conferencing, and other latency-sensitive applications.

In terms of network management, the AT-8000S series provides a variety of options, including an intuitive web-based interface, SNMP support, and the ability to manage switch configurations through console access. This flexibility allows network administrators to monitor performance and manage configurations easily.

The switches are built for durability, featuring a robust design suitable for deployment in various environments, including temperature-sensitive areas. Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability is also available in certain models, allowing network devices like IP cameras and wireless access points to receive power through the same cable as data, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

Allied Telesis emphasizes security within the AT-8000S series, with features such as port security, DHCP snooping, and IEEE 802.1X authentication to safeguard against unauthorized access and potential threats.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-8000S series provides a comprehensive networking solution tailored for modern business needs, combining performance, flexibility, and security to support a growing array of applications and devices within the network.
