Switch AT-8000S - IPconf

This document provides instructions for downloading software onto an Allied Telesis AT-8000S switch using the command line interface (CLI). It describes how to connect a terminal to the switch, set the initial configuration including the IP address, and then download the system software. The initial steps are to connect a terminal running VT100 emulation to the switch console port, set the terminal settings, and access the CLI. The user then configures an IP address and subnet mask along with other settings before downloading new software.

Allied Telesis AT-8000S Switch

Web Browser Interface User’s Guide

Appendix A. Downloading Software with CLI

This section describes how to download system files, and includes the following topics:
• Connecting a Terminal
• Initial Configuration
• Downloading Software

Connecting a Terminal
Before connecting a device, ensure that the device has been installed according to the instructions described in
the Allied Telesis AT-8000S Installation Guide.
Once installed the device is connected to a terminal through a console port on the front panel of the 16 port
device, 24 port, and the back panel for the 48 port devices. The console connection which enables a connection to
a terminal desktop system running a terminal emulation software for monitoring and configuring the device. For a
stack, only the Stacking Master is connected.
The terminal must be a VT100 compatible terminal or a desktop or portable system with a serial port and running
VT100 terminal emulation software.
To connect a terminal to the device Console port, perform the following:
1. Connect a cable from the device console port to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation software.
2. Ensure that the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
a) Select the appropriate port to connect to the device.
b) Set the data rate to 9600 baud.
c) Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
d) Set flow control to none.
e) Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
f) Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not
Windows keys).

Note
When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service
Pack 2 or later installed. With Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in
HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. Go to www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service
packs.

CLI can be accessed through the Terminal.


The device is now ready to download the system software.

Initial Configuration
Before a device can download system software, the device must have an initial configuration of IP address and
network mask.
Before assigning a static IP address to the device, obtain the following information from the network administrator:
• A specific IP address allocated by the network administrator for the switch to be configured
• Network mask for the network

Initial Configuration

After making any configuration changes, the new configuration must be saved before rebooting. To save the
configuration, enter the following CLI command: The following prompt is displayed:

Console# copy running-config startup-config

Configuration
The initial configuration, which starts after the device has booted successfully, includes static IP address and
subnet mask configuration, and setting user name and privilege level to allow remote management. If the device is
to be managed from an SNMP-based management station, SNMP community strings must also be configured.
The following basic configurations are required:
• "Static IP Address and Subnet Mask"
• "User Name"

Static IP Address and Subnet Mask


IP interfaces can be configured on each port of the device. After entering the configuration command, it is
recommended to check if a port was configured with the IP address by entering the “show ip interface” command.
The commands to configure the device are port specific.
To manage the switch from a remote network, a static route must be configured, which is an IP address to where
packets are sent when no entries are found in the device tables. The configured IP address must belong to the
same subnet as one of the device IP interfaces.
To configure a static route, enter the required commands at the system prompt as shown in the following
configuration example where 101.101.101.101 is the specific management station, and 5.1.1.100 is the static
route:

Console# configure
Console(config)# interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)# ip address 100.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Console(config-if)# exit
Console# ip route 192.168.2.0/24 100.1.1.33

Note
100.1.1.33 is the IP address of the next hop that can be used to reach the management network
192.168.2.0.

To check the configuration, enter the command “show ip interface” as illustrated in the following example.

Console# show ip interface


Proxy ARP is disabled
IP Address I/F Type Broadcast
Directed
------------ ------ ------ ---------
100.1.1.1/24 vlan 1 static disable
