Chapter 1  Logging into an Ethernet Switch

1.1  Logging into an Ethernet Switch

You can log into an S3100-52P Ethernet switch in one of the following ways:

l           Logging in locally through the Console port

l           Telneting locally or remotely to an Ethernet port

l           Telneting to the Console port using a modem

l           Logging into the Web-based network management system

l           Logging in through NMS (network management station)

1.2  Introduction to the User Interface

1.2.1  Supported User Interfaces

S3100-52P Ethernet switch support two types of user interfaces: AUX and VTY.

Table 1-1 Description on user interface

User interface

Applicable user

Port used

Description

AUX

Users logging in through the Console port

Console port

Each switch can accommodate one AUX user.

VTY

Telnet users and SSH users

Ethernet port

Each switch can accommodate up to five VTY users.

 

&  Note:

The AUX port and the Console port of a H3C series Ethernet switch are the same port. You will be in the AUX user interface if you log in through this port.

 

1.2.2  User Interface Number

Two kinds of user interface index exist: absolute user interface index and relative user interface index.

1)         The absolute user interface indexes are as follows:

l           AUX user interface: 0

l           VTY user interfaces: Numbered after AUX user interfaces and increases in the step of 1

2)         A relative user interface index can be obtained by appending a number to the identifier of a user interface type. It is generated by user interface type. The relative user interface indexes are as follows:

l           AUX user interface: AUX 0

l           VTY user interfaces: VTY 0, VTY 1, VTY 2, and so on.

l      Before executing the auto-execute command command and save your configuration, make sure you can log into the switch in other modes and cancel the configuration.

 


Chapter 2  Logging in through the Console Port

2.1  Introduction

To log in through the Console port is the most common way to log into a switch. It is also the prerequisite to configure other login methods. Normally, you can log into an S3100-52P Ethernet switch through its Console port.

To log into an Ethernet switch through its Console port, the communication configuration of the user terminal must be in accordance with that of the Console port.

Table 2-1 lists the default settings of a Console port.

After logging into a switch, you can perform configuration for AUX users. Refer to section 2.3  Console Port Login Configuration” for more.

2.2  Logging in through the Console Port

Following are the procedures to connect to a switch through the Console port.

1)         Connect the serial port of your PC/terminal to the Console port of the switch, as shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Diagram for setting the connection to the Console port

2)         If you use a PC to connect to the Console port, launch a terminal emulation utility (such as Terminal in Windows 3.X or HyperTerminal in Windows 9X) and perform the configuration shown in Figure 2-2 through Figure 2-4 for the connection to be created. Normally, the parameters of a terminal are configured as those listed in Table 2-1. And the type of the terminal is set to VT100.

Figure 2-2 Create a connection

Figure 2-3 Specify the port used to establish the connection

Figure 2-4 Set port parameters

3)         Turn on the switch. You will be prompted to press the Enter key if the switch successfully completes POST (power-on self test). The prompt (such as <H3C>) appears after you press the Enter key.

4)         You can then configure the switch or check the information about the switch by executing the corresponding commands. You can also acquire help by typing the ? character. The commands available on a switch are described in the command manuals.

2)         Telnet to the switch operating as the Telnet client.

3)         Execute the following command on the switch operating as the Telnet client:

<H3C> telnet xxxx

Where xxxx is the IP address or the host name of the switch operating as the Telnet server. You can use the ip host to assign a host name to a switch.

4)         Enter the password. If the password is correct, the CLI prompt (such as <H3C>) appears. If all VTY user interfaces of the switch are in use, you will fail to establish the connection and receive the message that says “All user interfaces are used, please try later!”.

5)         After successfully Telneting to the switch, you can configure the switch or display the information about the switch by executing corresponding commands. You can also type ? at any time for help. Refer to the following chapters for the information about the commands.

 


Chapter 4  Logging in Using Modem

4.1  Introduction

The administrator can log into the Console port of a remote switch using a modem through PSTN (public switched telephone network) if the remote switch is connected to the PSTN through a modem to configure and maintain the switch remotely. When a network operates improperly or is inaccessible, you can log into the switches in the network in this way to configure these switches, to query logs and warning messages, and to locate problems.

To log into a switch in this way, you need to configure the administrator side and the switch properly, as listed in the following table.

Table 4-1 Requirements for logging into a switch using a modem

Item

You can verify your configuration by executing the AT&V command.

 

&  Note:

l      The above configuration is unnecessary to the modem on the administrator side.

l      The configuration commands and the output of different modems may differ. Refer to the user manual of the modem when performing the above configuration.

 

4.3.2  Switch Configuration

 

&  Note:

After logging into a switch through its Console port by using a modem, you will enter the AUX user interface. The corresponding configuration on the switch is the same as those when logging into the switch locally through its Console port except that:

l      When you log in through the Console port using a modem, the baud rate of the Console port is usually set to a value lower than the transmission speed of the modem. Otherwise, packets may get lost.

l      Other settings of the Console port, such as the check mode, the stop bits, and the data bits, remain the default.

 

The configuration on the switch depends on the authentication mode the user is in. Refer to Table 2-3 for the information about authentication mode configuration.

I. Configuration on switch when the authentication mode is none

Refer to section 2.4  Console Port Login Configuration with Authentication Mode Being None”.

8.3  Controlling Network Management Users by Source IP Addresses

You can manage an S3100-52P Ethernet switch through network management software. Network management users can access switches through SNMP.

You need to perform the following two operations to control network management users by source IP addresses.

l           Defining an ACL

l           Applying the ACL to control users accessing the switch through SNMP

8.3.1  Prerequisites

The controlling policy against network management users is determined, including the source IP addresses to be controlled and the controlling actions (permitting or denying).

8.3.2  Controlling Network Management Users by Source IP Addresses

Controlling network management users by source IP addresses is achieved by applying basic ACLs, which are numbered from 2000 to 2999.

Table 8-5 Control network management users by source IP addresses

Operation

Command

Description

Enter system view

system-view

Create a basic ACL or enter basic ACL view

acl number acl-number [ match-order { config | auto } ]

As for the acl number command, the config keyword is specified by default.

Define rules for the ACL

rule [ rule-id ] { permit | deny } [ fragment | source { sour-addr sour-wildcard | any } | time-range time-name ]*

Required

Quit to system view

quit

Apply the ACL while configuring the SNMP community name

snmp-agent community { read | write } community-name [ mib-view view-name | acl acl-number ]*

Optional

By default, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c use community name to access.

Apply the ACL while configuring the SNMP group name

snmp-agent group { v1 | v2c } group-name [ read-view read-view ] [ write-view write-view ] [ notify-view notify-view ] [ acl acl-number ]

snmp-agent group v3 group-name [ authentication | privacy ] [ read-view read-view ] [ write-view write-view ] [ notify-view notify-view ] [ acl acl-number ]

Optional

By default, the authentication mode and the encryption mode are configured as none for the group.

Apply the ACL while configuring the SNMP user name

snmp-agent usm-user { v1 | v2c } user-name group-name [ acl acl-number ]

snmp-agent usm-user v3 user-name group-name [ authentication-mode { md5 | sha } auth-password [ privacy-mode des56 priv-password ] [ acl acl-number ]

Optional

 

&  Note:

You can specify different ACLs while configuring the SNMP community name, SNMP group name, and SNMP user name..

 

As SNMP community name is a feature of SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, the specified ACLs in the command that configures SNMP community names (the snmp-agent community command) take effect in the network management systems that adopt SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c.

Similarly, as SNMP group name and SNMP username name are a feature of SNMPv2c and the higher SNMP versions, the specified ACLs in the commands that configure SNMP group names and SNMP user names take effect in the network management systems that adopt SNMPv2c or higher SNMP versions. If you specify ACLs in the commands, the network management users are filtered by the SNMP group name and SNMP user name.

8.3.3  Configuration Example

I. Network requirements

Only SNMP users sourced from the IP addresses of 10.110.100.52 and 10.110.100.46 are permitted to access the switch.
