5. Conneting to the Switch

5.1 Using Console Port

Attach a VT100-compatible terminal, or a PC running a terminal emulation program to

the switch. You can use the console cable provided with this package.

To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps :

Step 1 : Connect the console cable to the serial port on a terminal, or a PC running

terminal emulation software, and tighten the captive retaining screws on the

DB-9 connector.

Step 2 : Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the switch.

Step 3 : Make sure the terminal emulation software is set as follows :

• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1, or COM port 2, …).

• Select the baud rates to 115200 bps.

• Select the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

• Set the emulation mode to VT100.

• When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows keys.

5.2 Accessing the CLI

To access the switch through the console port, perform the following steps :

Step 1 : At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user

names are “admin” and “guest” with corresponding passwords of “admin”

and “guest”.) When the administrator user name and password is entered,

the CLI displays the “ES-3026#” prompt and enters privileged access mode.

But when the guest user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the

“ES-3026>” prompt and enters normal access mode.

Step 2 : Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.

Step 3 : When nished, exit the session with the “quit” or “exit” command.

After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen displays :

User Access Verication

Username: admin

Password:

CLI session with the ES-3026 is opened.

To end the CLI session, enter [Exit]

ES-3026#

5.3 Setting IP Address

You must establish IP address information for the stack to obtain management access

through the network. This can be done in either of the following ways :

• Manual : You have to input the information, including IP address and subnet mask.

If your management station is not in the same IP subnet as the stack’s mas-

ter unit, you will also need to specify the default gateway router.

• Dynamic : The switch can send IPv4 conguration requests to BOOTP or DHCP ad-

dress allocation servers on the network.

To assign an IPv4 address to the switch, complete the following steps :

Step 1 : From the Global Conguration mode prompt, type “interface vlan 1” to access

the interface-conguration mode. Press <Enter>.

Step 2 : Type “ip address ip-address netmask”, where “ip-address” is the switch IP

address and “netmask” is the network mask for the network. Press <Enter>.

Step 3 : Type “exit” to return to the global conguration mode prompt. Press <Enter>.

Step 4 : To set the IP address of the default gateway for the network to which the

switch belongs, type “ip default-gateway gateway”, where “gateway” is the IP

address of the default gateway. Press <Enter>.

5.4 Setting Password

Passwords can consist of up to 8 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive. To

prevent unauthorized access to the switch, set the passwords as follows :

Step 1 : Open the console interface with the default user name and password “admin”

to access the privileged access mode.

Step 2 : Type “congure” and press <Enter>.

Step 3 : Type “username guest password 0 password”, for the normal access mode,

where “password” is your new password. Press <Enter>.

Step 4 : Type “username admin password 0 password”, for the privileged access

mode, where “password” is your new password. Press <Enter>.

ES-3026(cong)#interface vlan 1

ES-3026(cong-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

ES-3026(cong-if)#exit

ES-3026(cong)#ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254

Username: admin

Password:

CLI session with the ES-3026 is opened.

To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].

ES-3026#congure

ES-3026(cong)#username guest password 0 [password]

ES-3026(cong)#username admin password 0 [password]

ES-3026(cong)#

5.5 Connecting to the Web Interface

Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have rst performed

the following tasks :

Step 1 : Congure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default gate-

way using an out-of-band serial connection, BOOTP, or DHCP protocol. (See

“5.3 Setting IP Address”)

Step 2 : Set user name and passwords using a serial connection. Access to the web

agent is controlled by the same user names and passwords as onboard con-

guration program. (See “5.4 Setting Password”)

Step 3 : After you enter a user name and password, you will have access to the sys-

tem conguration program.

When your web browser connects with the switch’s web agent, the home page is

displayed as shown below. The home page displays the Main Menu on the left side of

the screen and System Information on the right side. The Main Menu links are used to

navigate to other menus, and display conguration parameters and statistics.
