* This manual covers the AS5812-54X-EC and AS5812-54T-EC 10G Ethernet
switches. The AS5812-54X-EC and AS5812-54T-EC are the same SDN ready
switches that are also equipped with the AOS (EdgeCOS) operating system as
described in this manual. Other than the difference in port types, there are no
significant differences. Therefore nearly all of the screen display examples are
based on the AS5812-54X-EC.
Remote Connections
(Network Interface
or Craft Port)
Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection, you must
first configure the switch’s network interface or craft port with a valid IPv4 or IPv6
address.
The default network interface is VLAN 1 which includes ports 1-54. However, note
that the switch also includes a Craft port on the front panel which provides a secure
management channel that is isolated from all other ports on the switch. This
interface is not configured with an IP address by default, but may be manually
configured with an IPv4 address. The Craft port is specified with the name “craft” in
the commands used to configure its IP address.
When configuring the network interface, the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway may all be set using a console connection, or DHCP protocol as described
in the following sections.
An IPv4 address for the primary network interface is obtained via DHCP by default.
To manually configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via
DHCP, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 63.
After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The onboard
configuration program can be accessed using Telnet or SSH from any computer
attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any computer using a
web browser (Internet Explorer 8 or above, Mozilla Firefox 32 or above, and Google
Chrome 39 or above).
Note: This switch supports eight Telnet sessions or SSH sessions.
The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration functions. To
access the full range of SNMP management functions, you must use SNMP-based
network management software.
