Using Telnet
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Concepts Guide 45
— If you have been assigned a user name and password with administrator privileges, enter them at
the login prompt.
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.
5 Assign an IP address and subnetwork mask for the default VLAN by using the following command:
configure vlan <vlan_name> ipaddress <ipaddress> {<netmask>}
For example:
configure 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 is:
configure vlan default ipaddress 123.45.67.8/24
6 Configure the default route for the switch using the following command:
configure iproute add default <gateway> {vr <vrname>} {<metric>} {multicast-only |
unicast-only}
For example:
configure iproute add default 123.45.67.1
7 Save your configuration changes so that they will be in effect after the next switch reboot.
— If you want to save your changes to the currently booted configuration, use the following
command:
save
— ExtremeWare XOS allows you to select or create a configuration file name of your choice to save
the configuration to. If you want to save your changes to an existing or new configuration file,
use the following command:
save configuration [<existing-config> | <new-config>]
8 When you are finished using the facility, log out of the switch by typing:
logout or quit
Configuring Telnet Access to the Switch
By default, Telnet services are enabled on the switch and all virtual routers listen for incoming Telnet
requests.
To configure the virtual router from which you receive a Telnet request, use the following command:
configure telnet vr [all | default | <vr_name>]
