Open the box of the Managed Switch and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: 2.
3. Requirements zz Workstations running Windows XP/2003/Vista/7/8/2008, MAC OS X or later, Linux, UNIX, or other platforms are compatible with TCP/IP protocols. zz Workstations are installed with Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card) zz Serial Port Connection (Terminal) The above Workstations come with COM Port (DB9) or USB-to-RS-232 converter. The above Workstations have been installed with terminal emulator, such as Hyper Terminal included in Windows XP/2003.
4. Terminal Setup The GS4210-8P2T2S, GS-4210-24P4C and GS-4210-24PL4C are equipped with a console interface for local switch setup and maintenance. To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook computer and to the RJ45 type of the console port of the Managed Switch.
5. Logon to the Console Once the terminal is connected to the device, power on the Managed Switch and the terminal will display “running testing procedures”. Then, the following message asks to log-in user name and password. The factory default user name and password are shown as follows, and the login screen in Figure 5-1 appears. Username: admin Password: admin Figure 5-1: Managed Switch Console Login Screen The user can now enter commands to manage the Managed Switch.
6. Configuring IP Address via the Console The Managed Switch is shipped with default IP address as follows: IP Address: 192.168.0.100 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Switch, please use the procedures as follows: Show the current IP address 1. At the “GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “show ip”. 2. The screen displays the current IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway as shown in Figure 6-1.
The previous command would apply the following settings for the Switch. IP Address: 192.168.1.100 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.254 Figure 6-2: IP Address Screen 5. Repeat Step 1 to check if the IP address is changed. If the IP is successfully configured, the Managed Switch will apply the new IP address setting immediately. You can access the Web interface of the GS-4210 Managed Switch Series through the new IP address.
7. Saving the Configuration via the Console In the switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running configuration sequence running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by writing the command or copying the running-config startupconfig command, so that the running configuration sequence becomes the startup configuration file, which is called configuration save. At the “GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “copy running-config startupconfig” as shown in Figure 7-1.
8. Starting Web Management The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed Switch. Note the Managed Switch is configured through an Ethernet connection. Please make sure the manager PC must be set on the same IP subnet address. For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. PC / Workstation with Web Browser 192.
3. After entering the password, the main screen appears as Figure 8-3 shows. Figure 8-3: Web Main Screen of Managed Switch The Switch Menu on the left of the Web page lets you access all the commands and statistics the Managed Switch provides. Figure 8-4: Switch Menu Now, you can use the Web management interface to continue the Switch management. Please refer to the user’s manual for more.
9. Saving Configuration via the Web In the Managed Switch, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running configuration sequence of running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by “Save Configurations to FLASH” function, so that the running configuration sequence becomes the startup configuration file, which is called configuration save.
10. Recovering Back to Default Configuration IP Address has been changed or admin password has been forgotten – To reset the IP address to the default IP Address “192.168.0.100” or reset the login password to default value, press the hardware reset button on the front panel for about 10 seconds. After the device is rebooted, you can login the management Web interface within the same subnet of 192.168.0.xx. 8-Port 10/100/1000T 802.
