2-1-3-2. Configuring the Management Agent of GSW-2690 through the Ethernet Port

There are three ways to configure and monitor the switch through the switch’s Ethernet port. They are CLI, Web browser and SNMP manager. The user interface for the last one is NMS dependent and does not cover here. We just introduce the first two types of management interface.

24 Fast Ethernet + 2 Gigabit L2 Managed

Switch

Default IP Setting:

IP = 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254

Ethernet LAN

Assign a reasonable IP address, For example:

IP = 192.168.1.100

Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway = 192.168.1.254

•Managing GSW-2690 through Ethernet Port

Before you communicate with the switch, you have to finish first the configuration of the IP address or to know the IP address of the switch. Then, follow the procedures listed below.

1.Set up a physical path between the configured the switch and a PC by a qualified UTP Cat. 5 cable with RJ-45 connector.

Note: If PC directly connects to the switch, you have to setup the same subnet mask between them. But, subnet mask may be different for the PC in the remote site. Please refer to Fig. 2-8 about the switch’s default IP address information.

2.Run CLI or web browser and follow the menu. Please refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
