D-Link d-link manual Configuring for Out-Of-Band Connectivity, Link DES-3226L Front View

Installing the Hardware 25

word is blank.

The DES-3226L is installed and loaded with the default configuration.

4.Reduce network traffic by turning off the Network Configuration Protocol. Enter the following command:

configure network protocol none

5.Set the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address by issue the following command: config network parms ipaddress netmask gateway

IP Address

Unique IP address for the DES-3226L. Each IP parameter is made up of four decimal numbers, ranging from 0 to 255. The default for all IP parameters is zeroes (0.0.0.0).

Subnet

Subnet mask for the LAN.

gateway

IP address of the default router, if the switch is a node outside the IP range of the LAN.

6.To enable these changes to be retained during a reset of the DES-3226L, type Ctrl-Zto return to the main prompt, type save config at the main menu prompt, and type y to confirm the changes.

7.To view the changes and verify in-band information, issue the command: show network.

8.The DES-3226L is configured for in-band connectivity and ready for Web-based management.

Configuring for Out-Of-Band Connectivity

To monitor and configure the switch using out-of-band connectivity, use the console port to connect the switch to a terminal desktop system running terminal emulation software. The console port connector is a male DB-9 connector, implemented as a data terminal equipment (DTE) connector.

Figure 6. D-Link DES-3226L - Front View

The following hardware is required to use the console port:

zVT100-compatible terminal, or a desktop, or a portable system with a serial port running VT100 terminal emulation software.

zAn RS-232 crossover cable with a female DB-9 connector for the console port and the appropriate connector for the terminal.

Perform the following tasks to connect a terminal to the switch console port using out-of-band connectivity:

1.Connect an RS-232 crossover cable to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation software.

2.Configure the terminal emulation software as follows:

A.Select the appropriate serial port (serial port 1 or serial port 2) to connect to the console.

B.Set the data rate to 115,200 baud.
