Reference Guide

• Configure a management route to the network from which you are accessing the system.

CONFIGURATION mode

management route ip-address/mask gateway

– ip-address: the network address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D).

– mask: a subnet mask in /prefix-length format (/ xx).

– gateway: the next hop for network traffic originating from the management port.

Configuring a Username and Password

To access the system remotely, configure a system username and password.

To configure a system username and password, use the following command.

• Configure a username and password to access the system remotely.

CONFIGURATION mode

username username password [encryption-type] password

– encryption-type: specifies how you are inputting the password, is 0 by default, and is not

required.

* 0 is for inputting the password in clear text.

* 7 is for inputting a password that is already encrypted using a Type 7 hash. Obtaining the

encrypted password from the configuration of another S5000 switch.

Creating a Port-based VLAN

The default virtual local area network (VLAN) (VLAN 1) is part of the system startup configuration and

does not require configuration.

To configure a port-based VLAN, create the VLAN and then add physical interfaces or port channel (LAG)

interfaces to the VLAN.

• Configure a port-based VLAN (if the vlan-id is different from the default VLAN ID) and enter

INTERFACE VLAN mode.

CONFIGURATION mode

interface vlan vlan-id

After you create a VLAN, to activate the VLAN, assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to the VLAN.

To view the configured VLANs, use the show vlan command in EXEC Privilege mode.

Assigning Interfaces to a VLAN

You can only assign interfaces in Layer 2 mode to a VLAN using the tagged and untagged commands.

To place an interface in Layer 2 mode, use the

switchport command.

You can designate Layer 2 interfaces as tagged or untagged. When you place an interface in Layer 2

mode using the switchport command, the interface is automatically designated untagged and placed

in the default VLAN.
