Login with SSH
After successful login the SSH connection offers access to the command line interface (CLI)
(handling see Chapter 2.2, "Handling of the Command Line Interface (CLI)").
Establishing a connection via SSH can take a few seconds as the encryption has to be
negotiated.
2.1.5
Configuration via the Web Interface
Using one of the common web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple Safari, Google
Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer the web interface of the EDS500 device can be
accessed. The major device properties and functions can be set with the web interface. Also,
the full extent of the commands can be executed either by typing in the commands into a
input field or assemble them by clicking on the keywords. Prerequisite is the reachability
of the device via the IP network (Chapter 2.1.2, "Configuration via the IP Network"). Use the
device IP address as target URL.
Default configuration:
The Web-Server is activated with the configuration HTTP with redirection to HTTPS.
The handling of the web interface is described in detail in Chapter 2.5, "Handling in the Web
Interface" .
2.1.6
Configuration via SNMP
Some of the device parameters can be set via SNMP access, see Chapter 2.27, "SNMP Network
Management" . Prerequisite is the reachability of the device via the IP network (refer to
Chapter 2.1.2, "Configuration via the IP Network"), and activated write access with SNMP.
The default value for the write community string is: private.
2.1.7
Configuration via TFTP
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a very simple file transfer protocol. TFTP only
supports reading or writing files. The EDS500 managed switches uses TFTP to transfer for
example firmware, config files and certificates from and to the device.
The device configuration as a whole (refer to Chapter 2.4, "Loading and Saving a
Configuration" , running-config, startup-config, stick-config) can be downloaded as a file via
TFTP and uploaded again from a TFTP server to a device (startup-config, stick-config).
Prerequisite is the reachability of the device via the IP network (Chapter 2.1.2, "Configuration
via the IP Network").
The TFTP transmission has to be started with the command line interface (CLI) (via serial
terminal, Telnet or SSH), via the web interface or via SNMP.
