What to Configure First

Assigning a Name to the Switch

Adding a

Management IP

Address

Setting System Time

Here are a few suggestions on what to configure during your web management session on the switch. The initial management session must be a local management session from the Console port on the switch. For instructions on how to start a local management session, refer to “Starting a Web Management Session” on page 20.

The switch is easier to identify if you assign it a name. The switch’s name is displayed on the Dashboard page. See Figure 4 on page 23. To change the name of the switch, see “Setting the Switch Information” on page 41.

A name can be up to 39 alphanumeric characters. Spaces and quotation marks are not permitted.

You must assign the switch a management IP address before you can access the web interface. In addition, you may assign the switch both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. See Chapter 17, “Setting IPv4 and IPv6 Management” on page 187.

Here are the requirements:

The switch can have one management IPv4 address and one management IPv6 address.

The switch can have one IPv4 default gateway and one IPv6 default gateway.

A management IP address must be assigned to a VLAN on the switch. It can be any VLAN, including the Default_VLAN which is “VLAN1.” For background information on VLANs, refer to the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.1 Command Line User’s Guide.

The network devices (such as, syslog servers, TFTP servers, etc.) must be members of the same subnet as a management IP address or have access to it through routers or other Layer 3 devices.

The switch must have a default gateway if the network devices are not members of the same subnet as the management IP address. The default gateway specifies the IP address of a router interface that represents the first hop to the subnets or networks of the network devices.

A default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the same subnet as a management IP address.

To set the system time either manually or with an NTP server, see “Setting the System Date and Time” on page 32.

The switch also supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDI-X, which simplifies installation and connectivity by automatically detecting and configuring the appropriate settings.

The AT-9000/28 employs advanced switching technologies, such as IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, which enables the segregation of traffic for improved security and performance. This feature is crucial for businesses that require data isolation between different departments or user groups. In addition, the switch supports quality of service (QoS) protocols, allowing for traffic prioritization. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that handle multimedia applications or VoIP services that demand reliable bandwidth.

Another significant characteristic of the AT-9000/28 is its support for port mirroring. This capability is essential for network monitoring and troubleshooting, as it allows administrators to track and analyze network traffic efficiently. Furthermore, the switch supports multiple user authentication methods, including RADIUS and TACACS+, thus enhancing network security.

The AT-9000/28 is built with energy efficiency in mind, featuring Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) technology. This reduces power consumption during periods of low traffic without compromising performance, which aids in lowering overall operational costs.

In terms of management, the AT-9000/28 offers versatile management options, including a web-based GUI, Command Line Interface (CLI), and SNMP support. This flexibility enables network administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch easily.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-9000/28 is a reliable switch well-suited for a variety of network environments. Its combination of performance, security features, and energy efficiency makes it an excellent choice for organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure. With robust capabilities and advanced technologies, the AT-9000/28 stands out as a valuable addition to any networking setup.
