RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide
You can establish a connection to the CLI in any of the following ways:
•
Serial connection via the serial port on the G8000 (this option is always avail-
able)
•
Telnet connection over the network
•
SSH connection over the network
Browser-Based Interface
The Browser-based Interface (BBI) provides access to the common configuration,
management and operation features of the G8000 through your Web browser.
For more information, refer to the
BBI Quick Guide
.
Establishing a Connection
The factory default settings
permit initial switch administration through
only
the
built-in serial port. All other forms of access require additional switch configuration
before they can be used.
Remote access using the network requires the accessing terminal to have a valid,
routable connection to the switch interface. The client IP address may be configured
manually, or an IPv4 address can be provided automatically through the switch
using a service such as DHCP or BOOTP relay (see
), or an IPv6 address can be obtained using IPv6
stateless address configuration.
Note:
Throughout this manual,
IP address
is used in places where either an IPv4
or IPv6 address is allowed. IPv4 addresses are entered in dotted-decimal
notation (for example, 10.10.10.1), while IPv6 addresses are entered in
hexadecimal notation (for example, 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334). In
places where only one type of address is allowed,
IPv4 address
or
IPv6
address
is specified.
To manage the switch using Telnet, SNMP, or a Web browser, you must configure
an IP interface.
When a DHCP server is present in the local network for the switch, the DHCP server
will be used to configures the IP interface. However, if the switch fails to renew the
address obtained through DHCP, the following factory configured settings will be
used for IP interface 1:
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.211
Mask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:192.168.1.255
DHCP:
enabled
If you manually configure a static IP address, DHCP is disabled. If you manually
enable DHCP, the interface will be configured by the DHCP server.
To access the switch, the following IP parameters must be configured:
1. Log on to the switch.
2. Enter IP interface mode.
RS G8000>
enable
RS G8000#
configure terminal
RS G8000(config)#
interface ip
<IP interface number>
