2. Switch Management
To set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switch
for network management. The Managed Switch provides two management options:
Out-of-Band Management and In-Band Management.

 Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through console interface. Generally,
the user will use out-of-band management for the initial switch configuration,
or when in-band management is not available.

 In-Band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging in to the Managed
Switch using Telnet or HTTP, or using SNMP management software to configure the
Managed Switch. In-band management enables the management of the Managed
Switch to attach some devices to the Switch. The following procedures are required
to enable in-band management:

1. Logon to console

2. Assign/Configure IP address

3. Create a remote login account

4. Enable HTTP or Telnet server on the Managed Switch

In case in-band management fails due to Managed Switch configuration changes,

out-of-band management can be used for configuring and managing the Managed
Switch.

The Managed Switch is shipped with Management Port IP

address 192.168.1.1/24 assigned and VLAN1 interface IP
address 192.168.0.254/24 assigned by default. User can assign
another IP address to the Managed Switch via the console inter-
Important face to be able to remotely access the Managed Switch through
Telnet or HTTP.

4. Terminal Setup
To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or
notebook computer and to serial (console) port of the Managed Switch. The
console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already, so that you can connect the
console port directly through PC without the need of Null Modem.

4.2 Configuring IP Address
The IP address configuration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below.
Before using in-band management, the Managed Switch must be configured with
an IP address by out-of-band management (i.e. console mode). The configuration
commands are as follows:

Switch#config
Switch_config#interface vlan 1
Switch_config_v1#ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

The previous command would apply the following settings for the Managed Switch.
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Figure 4-4 Configuring IPv4 Address Screen

To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Managed
Switch, please use the procedures as follows:

 Show the current IP address

1. On “Switch#” prompt, enter “show ip interface brief”.
2. The screen displays the current IP address, subnet mask and gateway as shown
in Figure 4-5.

Figure 4-5 Showing IP Information Screen

If the IP is successfully configured, the Managed Switch will apply the new IP
address setting immediately. You can access the Web interface of Managed Switch
through the new IP address.

If you are not familiar with console command or the related param-
eter, enter “help” anytime in console to get the help description.
Note

4.3 Setting 1000BASE-X for 10G SFP+ Port

The Managed Switch supports both 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-X SFP
transceivers by manual setting and the default SFP+ port speed is set to 10Gbps.
For example, to establish the fiber connection with 1000BASE-X SFP transceiver in
the tgigaethernet 0/1, the following command configuration is required:

Switch#config
Switch_config#interface tgigaethernet 0/1
Switch_config_tg1/1#speed 1000
Switch_config_tg1/1#exit
Switch_config#interface range tgigaethernet 0/2-24
