2. Switch ManagementTo set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switchfornetworkmanagement.TheManagedSwitchprovidestwomanagementoptions:Out-of-Band ManagementandIn-Band Management.

Out-of-Band ManagementOut-of-bandmanagement is themanagementthroughconsole interface.Generally,the user will use out-of-band management for the initial switch configuration, orwhenin-bandmanagementisnotavailable.

In-Band ManagementIn-band management refers to the management by logging in to the ManagedSwitchusingTelnetorHTTP,orusingSNMPmanagementsoftwaretoconfiguretheManaged Switch. In-bandmanagement enables themanagement of theManagedSwitchtoattachsomedevicestotheSwitch.Thefollowingproceduresarerequiredtoenablein-bandmanagement:

1. Log on to console

2.Assign/ConfigureIPaddress

3. Create a remote login account

4.EnableHTTPorTelnetserverontheManagedSwitch

In case in-bandmanagement fails due to Managed Switch configuration changes,out-of-bandmanagement canbeused for configuringandmanaging theManagedSwitch.

4.2 ConfiguringIPAddressThe IP address configuration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below.Before using in-bandmanagement, the Managed Switchmust be configured withan IP address by out-of-bandmanagement (i.e. consolemode). The configurationcommandsareasfollows:

Switch# configSwitch(config)# interface vlan 1Switch(config-if-Vlan1))# ip address 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0

ThepreviouscommandwouldapplythefollowingsettingsfortheManagedSwitch.

IPv4Address:192.168.1.254SubnetMask:255.255.255.0

To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the ManagedSwitch,pleaseusetheproceduresasfollows:

Show the current IP address

1. On “Switch#”prompt,enter“show ip interface brief”.

4.3 Setting1000BASE-Xfor10GSFP+PortThe Managed Switch supports both 1000BASE-X and 10GBASE-X SFPtransceiversbymanual settingand thedefaultSFP+port speed is set to10Gbps.Forexample, toestablish thefiberconnectionwith1000BASE-XSFPtransceiver inthe Ethernet 1/0/1,thefollowingcommandconfigurationisrequired:

Switch# configSwitch(config)# interface ethernet 1/0/1Switch(config-if-ethernet1/0/1)# speed-duplex force1g-fullSwitch(config-if-ethernet1/0/1)# exit

4.4 Changing PasswordThe default password of the switch is “admin”. For security reason, it isrecommended to change password and the following command configuration isrequired:

Switch# configSwitch(config)# username admin password planet2018Switch(config)#

4.5 SavingtheConfigurationIn the Managed Switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In thecurrent version, the running configuration sequence running-config can be savedfrom the RAM to FLASH bywrite command or copy running-config startup-configcommand,sothattherunningconfigurationsequencebecomesthestart-upconfigurationfile,whichiscalledconfigurationsave.
