MES3000 Ethernet switch series 33
Current stack topology—chain or ring
Switch operation mode after restart—standalone/stackable
Switch identifier that will be applied after restart
Devices with identical Unit IDs won't be able to work in one stack.
4.5 Switch function configuration
Initial configuration functions can be divided into two types.
– Basic configuration—includes definition of basic configuration functions and dynamic IP address
configuration.
– Security system parameters configuration—includes security system management based on ААА
mechanism (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting).
All unsaved changes will be lost after the device restarts. Use the following command to
save all changes made to the switch configuration:
console# write
4.5.1 Basic switch configuration
To begin the device configuration, connect it to the PC using the serial port. Run the terminal
emulation application on the PC according to Paragraph 4.1 Terminal Configuration.
During the initial configuration, you can define the interface that will be used for remote connection
to the device.
Basic configuration includes:
1. Assigning password for 'admin' user (with level 15 privileges)
2. Creation of new users
3. Static IP address, subnet mask, default gateway configuration
4. Obtaining IP address from DHCP server
5. SNMP settings configuration
4.5.1.1 Assigning password for 'admin' user and creation of new users
To ensure the secure system access, you should assign the password for the privileged
'admin' user.
Username and password are required for login during the device administration sessions. Use the
following commands to create a new system user or configure the username, password, or privilege level:
console# configure
console(config)# username name password password privilege {1-15}
Privilege level 1 allows to access the device, but denies its configuration. Privilege level 15
allows both the access and configuration of the device.
