devices, such as a router.
The switch is a Layer 3 switch that can be configured with several IPv4/IPv6 addresses, the
configuration method refers to the relative chapter. The following example assumes the shipment
status of the switch where only VLAN1 exists in the system.
The following describes the steps for a Telnet client to connect to the switch’s VLAN1 interface
by Telnet(IPV4 address example):
Fig 1-7 Manage the switch by Telnet
Step 1: Configure the IP addresses for the switch and start the Telnet Server function on the switch.
First is the configuration of host IP address. This should be within the same network segment as
the switch VLAN1 interface IP address. Suppose the switch VLAN1 interface IP address is
10.1.128.251/24. Then, a possible host IP address is 10.1.128.252/24. Run “ping 10.1.128.251” from
the host and verify the result, check for reasons if ping failed.
The IP address configuration commands for VLAN1 interface are listed below. Before in-band
management, the switch must be configured with an IP address by out-of-band management (i.e.
Console mode), the configuration commands are as follows (All switch configuration prompts are
assumed to be “Switch” hereafter if not otherwise specified):
Switch>
Switch>enable
Switch#config
Switch(config)#interface vlan 1
Switch(Config-if-Vlan1)#ip address 10.1.128.251 255.255.255.0
Switch(Config-if-Vlan1)#no shutdown
To enable the Telnet Server function, users should type the CLI command telnet-server enable
in the global mode as below:
Switch>enable
Switch#config
