Connecting To The Switch - Allied Telesis x900 Serie Guía De Instalación Y Seguridad

Connecting to the Switch

All x900 Series switches and the SwitchBlade x908 can be configured using the
Command Line Interface (CLI). The procedure and command syntax varies
depending on whether the switch is running the AlliedWare
or the AlliedWare Plus™ operating system.
AT-9900 Series switches running the AlliedWare operating system can also be
configured using the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Before configuring the switch, you must make some basic connections explained
in the following procedures:
■ "Using the AlliedWare Plus Operating System CLI" on page 13
■ "Using the AlliedWare Operating System CLI" on page 16
■ "Using the AlliedWare Operating System GUI" on page 18
Before starting these procedures, ensure that the switch is connected to a
power supply and receiving power.
Using the AlliedWare Plus Operating System CLI
Depending on the model, an ASYN0/CONSOLE and/or ETH0 port is on the
front of the switch for installation and maintenance.
1. To use the ETH0 port, physically connect it to the terminal or PC, and
check that the port's LEDs are lit. This means a link has been established
between the port and the PC. For NEBS compatibility, the cable must be
shielded and grounded at both ends, especially if permanently connected.
The default configuration contains the following commands:
interface eth0
ip address 192.168.242.242/24
Set the PC to an IP address in the 192.168.242.0 subnet, and then establish
a Telnet session to 192.168.242.242.
When x900-24XT, x900-24XT-N, x900-24XS, or SwitchBlade x908
switches are connected to form a virtual chassis stack (VCS), the ETH0
port has additional operational functions. See the Hardware Reference for
more information.
