Default Settings

When the switch first starts up with the AlliedWare Plus

OS, it applies default settings

and copies these defaults dynamically into its running-config.

These default settings mean that the AlliedWare Plus

OS:

■

encrypts passwords, such as user passwords

■

records log message priority in log messages

■

turns on the telnet server so that you can telnet to the switch

■

enables the switch to look up domain names (but for domain name lookups to work,
you have to configure a DNS server)

■

turns off L3 multicast packet switching in the switch’s hardware. This prevents L3
multicast from flooding the switch’s CPU in its default state as an L2 switch

■

sets the maximum number of ECMP routes to 4

■

turns on RSTP on all ports. Note that the ports are not set to be edge ports

■

sets all the switch ports to access mode. This means they are untagged ports, suitable
for connecting to hosts

■

creates VLAN 1and adds all the switch ports to it

■

allows logins on the serial console port

■

allows logins on VTY sessions (for telnet etc)

■

has switching enabled, so Layer 2 traffic is forwarded appropriately without further
configuration

■

allocates all the routing table memory space to IPv4 and IPv6 routes

■

has ports set to autonegotiate their speed and duplex mode

■

has copper ports set to auto MDI/MDI-X mode
