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 media ethernet state active vlan 226 name Clients media ethernet state active 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
We exit the configuration mode, look at the current configuration and save it:
extit show running-config copy running-config startup-config config.cfg
