Westermo OS Management Guide
Version 4.17.0-0
Chapter 2
Quick Start
This section provides a guide to quickly get started with your switch. Only simple
configuration procedures will be covered
1 . The steps covered concern:
❼ Get familiar with the factory default setting
❼ Configuring an appropriate IP address
2.1 Starting the Switch for the First Time
When booting the switch for the first time the switch will use the factory default
setting.
The factory default setting makes the switch operate as a manageable layer-2
switch, where all Ethernet ports belong to the same virtual LAN (VLAN)
2 .
❼ Manageable: The switch is manageable via any of the Ethernet ports. To
manage the switch via an Ethernet port you need to know the IP address of
the switch (see
table 2.1 ). For switches equipped with a console port, the
switch can as well be managed via that port without knowing the IP address
of the switch.
1 For more advanced settings, we refer to the remaining chapters of this guide as well as the
online help provided via the Web configuration tool and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
2 On Falcon series of switches, all Ethernet ports belong to the default VLAN (VLAN 1), while the
xDSL port belongs to a separate VLAN (VLAN 1006). That is, by factory default Falcon operates as
a router. See
chapter 11 for more details.
