1 G ETTING S TARTED This chapter co ntains introductory information about the 3Com ® Offi ceConnect Managed Gigabit PoE Switch (hereafter call ed the Switch) and how they can be used in your network.
14 C HAPTER 1: G ETTING S T ARTED About the OfficeConnect Managed Gigabit PoE Switch The OfficeConnect Managed Gigabit Po E Switch is a Gigabit Ether net switching products that delivers fl exible thr ee-speed performance (10/100/1000), Power over Ethernet (P oE) and advanced voice-optimized features such as auto-QoS and auto-voice VLAN.
Front Panel Detail 15 Front Panel Detail Figur e 1 shows the front panel of the OfficeConnect Ma naged Gigabit PoE Switch 10-Po rt unit Figure 1 Of ficeConnect Managed Gigabit PoE Switch 10-Port—front panel. Traffic Prioritization Supported (using the IEEE Std 802.
16 C HAPTER 1: G ETTING S T ARTED LED Status Indicators The OfficeConnect Managed Gigabit PoE 10-Port Ethernet switch provides LED indicators on the fr ont panel for your convenience to monitor the switch. Ta b l e 2 describes the mea nings of the LEDs.
System Specifications 17 System Specifications Ta b l e 3 contains the system specifications of the OfficeConnect Managed Gigabit PoE series switch. Additional specifications can be found in Appendix B “Device Specifications and Featur es” .
18 C HAPTER 1: G ETTING S T ARTED Installing the Switch This section contains information that you need to install and set up your 3Com switch. WAR N IN G : Safety Information.
Setting Up for Management 19 Setting Up for Management T o make full use of the features of fered by your switch, and to change and monitor the way it works, y ou have to access the management software that r esides on the switch . This is k nown as managi ng the switch.
20 C HAPTER 1: G ETTING S T ARTED Figure 2 W eb Interface Management over the Network Refer to “Setting Up We b In terface Management” on page 27. SNMP Management Y ou can manage a switch using an y network management workstation running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as shown in Figur e 3 .
Switch Setup Overview 21 Figure 4 Initial Switch Setup and Management Flow Diagram CAUTION T o protect your switch from unauthor ized access, you must change the default password as soo n as possible, even if you do not intend to actively manage your sw itch.
22 C HAPTER 1: G ETTING S T ARTED IP Configuration The switch’ s IP configuration is dete rmined automatically using DHCP , or manually using values you assig n. Automatic IP Configuration using DHCP By default the switch tries to configure its IP Information without requesting user intervention.
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) 23 ■ Y our DHCP server does not allow you to allocate static IP addresses. (Static IP addresses ar e necessary to ensure that the switch is always allocated the same IP information.) For most installations, 3Com recommends that you configure th e switch IP information manually .
24 C HAPTER 1: G ETTING S T ARTED Connecting the W orkstat ion to the Switch 1 Connect the workstation to the console port using the co nsole cable as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5 Connecting a W orkstation to the Switch using the Console Port T o connect the cable: a Attach the cable’ s RJ-45 connect or to the Console port of the switch.
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) 25 1 Connect to the switch Console port as descri bed in “Connecting to the Console Port” page 23 . 2 The command line interface login sequenc e begins as soon as th e switch detects a connection to it s console port.
