In the test, I’ll configure the Edge-core ES3526XA switch.
RS232 console cable for Edge-core is the same as for Allied Telesis switches and TV tuners (mother-to-mother).
When connecting, we’ll see the current configuration and immediately go into configuration mode:
show running-config
configure
Add the necessary VLANs:
vlan database
vlan 207 name Management
vlan 226 name Clients
exit
Set up the uplink port:
interface ethernet 1/25
switchport allowed vlan add 1 untagged
switchport allowed vlan add 207,226 tagged
switchport mode trunk
exit
After that, you can create a vlan interface for managing the switch:
interface vlan 207
ip address 192.168.5.5 255.255.255.0
exit
ip default-gateway 192.168.5.1
Example client port settings:
interface ethernet 1/1-24
switchport native vlan 226
switchport allowed vlan add 226 untagged
switchport mode access
switchport broadcast packet-rate 1024
interface ethernet 1/26
...
Set up time and SNMP:
clock timezone UTC hour 3 minute 0 after-utc
sntp server 192.168.5.2 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
sntp client
snmp-server community public ro
snmp-server community private rw
snmp-server location test
snmp-server contact test@ixnfo.com
hostname ixnfo
Example of deleting an unnecessary user:
no username guest
Administrator password setting:
username admin access-level 15
username admin password ?
enable password level 15 ?
We exit the configuration mode, look at the current configuration and save it:
exit
show running-config
copy running-config startup-config
config.cfg
