Switch Management

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 1-6 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 192.168.200.1 /24. Then, a possible host IP address is 192.168.200.1 /24.
Run ―ping 192.168.200.1‖ 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 192.168.200.1 255.255.255.0
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
Switch(config)# telnet-server enable
