Chapter 32 Introducing the Commands

1For local management, connect your computer to the RJ-45 management port (labeled MGMT) on the switch.

2Make sure your computer IP address and the switch IP address are on the same subnet. In Windows, click Start (usually in the bottom left corner), Run and then type “telnet 192.168.0.1” (the default management IP address) and click OK.

3A login screen displays (refer to Section 32.3 on page 209).

32.3The Login Screen

After you have successfully established a connection to the switch using a direct console connection or Telnet, a login screen displays as shown below. For your first login, enter the default administrator login username “admin” and password “1234”.

32.4 Command Syntax Conventions

The rules of the commands are listed next.

The command keywords are in courier new font.

The required fields in a command are enclosed in angle brackets <>, for instance, ping <ip> means that you must specify an IP number for this command.

The optional fields in a command are enclosed in square brackets [], for instance, configure snmp-server [contact <system contact>] [location <system location>] means that the contact and location fields are optional.

“Command” refers to a command used in the command line interface (CI command).

The symbol means “or”.

The entry <cr> in the command lines refers to carriage return. Press [ENTER] or carriage return after a command to execute the command.

Use the up (y) or down (z) arrow key to scroll through the command history list.

The CLI does not accept partial or incomplete commands. You may enter a unique part of a command and press [TAB] to have the switch automatically display the full command. For example, if you enter “config” and press [TAB], the full command of “configuration” automatically displays.

Each interface refers to an Ethernet port on the switch. Commands configured after the interface command correspond to those ports.

Type multiple ports or port ranges separated by a comma. Ranges of port numbers are typed separated by a dash.
