1.4 Management and Configuration The switch is managed usin g Command Line Interface (CLI ) in order to a ccess several different command modes. Entering a question mark (?) at each command mode’s prompt provides a list of commands.
Chapter 2: Hardware Installation and Setup Use the following guidelines to easi ly install the switch, ens uring that it ha s the proper power supply and environment. 2.1 Installation Overview Follow these steps to install the IntraCore IC36240 s witch: 1.
2.1.2 Recommended Installation Tools You need the following ad ditional tools and equ ipment to install the switch into an equipment rack: • Flat head screwdriver • Phillips head screwdriver • Antistatic mat or foam 2.1.3 Power Requirements The electrical outlet should be properl y grounded, locat ed near the switch and be easil y accessible.
5. Place the switch in the equipment rack. 6. Secure the switch by securing its mounting br acke ts onto the equipment rack with the appropriate screws (supplied). Important: Make sure the switch is supported until all the mounting scre ws for each bracket are secured to the equipment rack.
To verify the primary power status, use the Switch# show system command. Under System Informat ion, you see the power unit status. System Information ------------------ System up for: 000day(s), 01hr(s), 46min(s), 54sec(s) PROM Image Version/Date: 1.00C/Nov 11 2004 17:03:04 DRAM Size: 64.
Important: The switch must be located within 100 meters of its attached 10Bas eT or 100BaseTX dev ices. Use the following guidelines to determi ne the cabling requirements for the network devices: •.
• 1000BaseLH GBIC: Cables wit h SC-type fiber connectors; 10µ sing le-mode fiber media up to 20 km (65,617') • 1000BaseLX Long H aul GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors; 10µ single-m.
Chapter 3: Initial Software Setup Configure the switch by connecting directly to it th rough a console (out-of-band managem ent), running a terminal emulation program, such as HyperT erminal or by using telnet. 3.1 Connecting to a Console To connect the switch to a console or computer , set up the system in the following manner: 1.
e. Press the Configuration button from the Connect To window. e f. Set the data rate to 9600 Baud. g. Set data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parit y. h. Set flow control to NONE. f g h Now that terminal is set up correctly, power on the sw itch.
3.3 Passwords and Privileges Commands The switch has not default pass word, which allows any one on the net work access to various privilege levels. T o prevent unauthorized changes to the switch’s configuration, you sho uld set an enable password for access to s witch management.
3.3.3 Password To specify a password on a line, use the password command in line confi guration mode. Use the no form of this command to remove the password.
3.4 Login Security Two methods are available o n the IntraCore IC36240 to co nfigur e an authentication quer y process for better login security: the username command for the g lobal configuration mode an d password and login commands from the line configuration mode.
5. Type ip address and the new addr ess. The following screen appears: Switch> enable Switch# configure Switch(config)# ip address 192.168.123.254/24 Switch(config)# end Switch# show ip Dhcp Client Enabled ..........: No IP Address ................
Chapter 4: Understanding the Command Line Interface (CLI) The switch utilizes Command Lin e Interface (CLI) to pr ovide access to seve ral different command modes. Each command mode provides a group of related commands. After logging into the system, you are autom atically in the user top (user E XEC) mode .
To list the commands available in user top m ode, enter a question mark (?). Use a space and a questi on mark (?) after entering a command to see all the options for that particular command. Command Purpose ? Lists the user EXEC commands. show ? Lists all the options avail able for the given command.
In general, the top (privileged) commands allow you to change terminal set tings on a temporary b asis, perform basic tests, and list system information. To list the commands av ailable in top mo de, enter a question mark (?) at the prompt, as shown in the following example.
To exit global config uration command mode and return to privile ged EXEC mode, use on e of the following commands: Command Purpose exit end Ctrl-Z Exits global configuration mo de and returns to privileged EXEC mode.
4.3.1 Interface Configuration Mode Many features are enabled on a per-interface basis. Interface configuration commands m odify the operation of an interface such as an Ethernet or serial port. In terface configuration commands al ways follow an interface global configuration command, which defin es the interface type as Ethernet.
In the following example, the switch shows the multiple Spanni ng Trees (MST) command. Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst configuration Switch(config-mst)# ? end End current mode and change to enable m.
To get help specific to a command mode, a command, a keyword, or an argument, perform one of the following commands: Command Purpose Help Obtain a brief description of the help system in an y command mode. ? List all commands available for a particu lar command mode.
Switch# configure ? configure Enter configuration mode Note that in the example below, if you e nter the ip comman d followed by the Return Key or Enter, the system returns the prompt that the command is incomplete. Switch# ip % Command incomplete. Switch# Generally, uppercase letters represent variables.
4.6 Using CLI Command History The CLI user interface provides a histor y or record of co mmands that you have e ntered. This feature is particularl y useful for recalling long or co mplex commands or entries, including access lists.
4.8.1 Moving Around on the Command Line Use the following keystrokes to move the cur sor around on the command line in order to make corrections or changes: Keystrokes Purpo se Press Ctrl-B or the left arrow. Move the cursor back one character. Press Ctrl-F or the right arrow.
4.8.3 Editing Command Lines That Wrap The enhanced editi ng feature provides a wraparound for comm ands that extend beyond a sing le line on the screen.
When you have completed th e entry, press Ctrl-A to check the complete syntax before pr essing Enter to execute the command. The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the l ine to indicate that the line has been scrolled to the right: Switch(config)# access-list 101 permit icmp 192.
4.8.7 Transposing Mistyped Character s If you have mistyped a command e ntry, you can transpose the mist yped characters by using the follo wing command: Keystrokes Purpo se Press Ctrl-T . Transpose the character to the left of the cursor with the character located at the cursor.
