Summit 200 Series Switch Installation and User Guide

Managing the Switch

4

At the password prompt, enter the password and press [Return].

When you have successfully logged in to the switch, the command-line prompt displays the name of
the switch in its prompt.

5

Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for the default VLAN by using the following command:

config vlan ipaddress {}

For example:

config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8 255.255.255.0

Your changes take effect immediately.

NOTE

As a general rule, when configuring any IP addresses for the switch, you can express a subnet mask
by using dotted decimal notation, or by using classless inter-domain routing notation (CIDR). CIDR
uses a forward slash plus the number of bits in the subnet mask. Using CIDR notation, the
command identical to the one above would be:

config vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8 / 24

6

Configure the default route for the switch using the following command:

config iproute add default {}

For example:

config iproute add default 123.45.67.1

7

Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next switch reboot, by typing:

save

8

When you are finished using the facility, log out of the switch by typing:

logout

or

quit

Disconnecting a Telnet Session

An administrator-level account can disconnect a Telnet management session. If this happens, the user
logged in by way of the Telnet connection is notified that the session has been terminated.

To terminate a Telnet session, follow these steps:

1

Log in to the switch with administrator privileges.

2

Determine the session number of the session you want to terminate by using the following
command:

show session

3

Terminate the session by using the following command:

clear session
