Completing the Installation

Completing the DFE module installation depends on whether the module is being installed in

a new DFE module system (refer to “Completing the Installation of a New System” on page 3‐26), or

an established, operating DFE module system (refer to “Completing the Installation of a DFE Module in an Existing System” on page 3‐28).

Completing the Installation of a New System

In a new system of DFE modules, one of the installed DFE modules will become the management module on chassis power up, and all DFE modules will automatically be set to the factory default values. A complete list of the factory default values are provided in Chapter 3 of the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide.

After installing all DFE modules into the host chassis and making the connections to the network, proceed to the following First‐Time Log‐In Using a Console Port Connection procedure to access the module management startup screen from your PC, terminal, or modem connection.

First-Time Log-In Using a Console Port Connection

Notes: This procedure applies only to initial log-in, and to logging in to a device not yet configured with administratively-supplied user and password settings.

By default, the Matrix DFE Series device is configured with three user login accounts: ro for Read-Only access; rw for Read-Write access; and admin for super-user access to all modifiable parameters. The default password is set to blank (press ENTER). For information on changing these default passwords, refer to Chapter 3 in the Enterasys Matrix DFE-Gold Series Configuration Guide.

Start the Command Line Interface (CLI) from the module’s local console port as follows:

1.Connect a terminal to the local console port as described in “Connecting to COM Port for Local Management” on page 3‐20. The startup screen, Figure 3‐12, displays.

2.At the login prompt, enter one of the following default user names:

ro for Read‐Only access,

rw for Read‐Write access, or

admin for Super User access. (This access level allows Read‐Write access to all modifiable parameters, including user accounts.)

3.Press ENTER.

4.The Password prompt displays. Leave this string blank and press ENTER. The module information and Matrix prompt displays as shown in Figure 3‐12.

4G4205-72, 4G4285-49 specifications

Enterasys Networks is a distinguished name in the realm of networking solutions, offering a variety of high-performance switches and routers designed for enterprise environments. Among their impressive lineup, the 4G4285-49 and 4G4205-72 models stand out for their advanced capabilities and robust features that cater to the demanding needs of modern IT infrastructure.

The Enterasys 4G4285-49 is a high-density Layer 3 switch that provides exceptional performance and reliability. It is equipped to handle the increasing data traffic common in enterprise networks, facilitating enhanced throughput and reduced latency. This model features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, ideal for connecting a vast array of devices within a network, along with one or two 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports, ensuring fast data transmission to other network segments.

On the other hand, the 4G4205-72 is specifically designed as a versatile access switch with 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and an additional 4 SFP+ uplink ports. This configuration makes it perfect for connecting endpoints like computers, printers, and other network devices while also providing scalability for future expansion.

Both models leverage advanced technologies such as Virtual LAN (VLAN) support, which helps in segmenting network traffic for better performance and security. Quality of Service (QoS) features are integrated, allowing administrators to prioritize critical applications and ensure optimal performance during high traffic periods. Additionally, security protocols like Access Control Lists (ACLs) and port security measures safeguard the network against unauthorized access.

The Enterasys 4G4285-49 and 4G4205-72 also support advanced management capabilities. With intuitive web-based interfaces and support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), IT teams can efficiently monitor network performance and troubleshoot issues as they arise.

In terms of build quality, both models are designed for reliability, featuring robust chassis and components that withstand the rigors of a data center environment. Their energy-efficient designs also contribute to reduced operational costs, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable networking solutions.

In summary, Enterasys Networks' 4G4285-49 and 4G4205-72 models combine high performance, advanced networking technologies, and robust security features, making them ideal choices for enterprises looking to enhance their network infrastructure and manage increasing data demands effectively.
