How to use the commands
The SWR2311P lets you perform command operations in the following two ways.
Type of operation Method of operation Description
Operation via console
• Access from a console terminal
•
Access from a TELNET client
•
Access from a SSH client
Issue commands one by one to
interactively make settings or perform
operations.
Operation via a config file
• File transfer via TFTP
• File transfer via GUI operation
• File copy via SD card
A file containing a set of necessary
commands (called a configuration or
"config" file) is used to specify multiple
settings, or to obtain multiple settings from
the SWR2311P, in a single operation.
This chapter explains how to use each method.
2.1 Operation via console
2.1.1 Access from a console terminal
Use a USB cable or RJ-45/DB-9 console cable when making settings from a terminal that is connected to the CONSOLE port
of SWR2311P.
For the USB cable connected to the mini-USB CONSOLE port, use a USB cable that supports data communication between a
USB Type A connector and a mini-USB Type B (5-pin) connector. Cables for recharging only cannot be used.
If you are using a computer as a console terminal (serial terminal), you'll need a terminal program to control the computer's
serial (COM) port. Set the communication settings of the console terminal as follows.
Setting item Value
Baud rate 9600bps
Data 8-bit
Parity none
Stop bit 1-bit
Flow control Xon/Xoff
For settings related to the console terminal, use the line con command to move to line mode.
2.1.2 Access from a TELNET client
You can use a TELNET client on a computer to connect to the TELNET server of the SWR2311P and control it. In order to
make settings using TELNET, you must first set up a connection environment (IP network) and then make TELNET server
settings.
The IP address settings of the SWR2311P are as follows.
• The default IPv4 address setting is ip address dhcp for VLAN #1.
•
To change the IPv4 address, use the ip address command.
The TELNET server settings of the SWR2311P are as follows.
• With the default settings of the TELNET server function, it runs on the default port (TCP port 23) and allows access only
from VLAN #1 (vlan0.1).
• To change the reception port number, use the telnet-server command.
• Access to the TELNET server can be controlled in VLAN units, and can be specified by the telnet-server interface
command.
A virtual communication port by which a TELNET client connects is called a "virtual terminal (VTY: Virtual TYpewriter)
port." The maximum number of simultaneous TELNET client connections depends on the number of VTY ports of the
SWR2311P. The VTY ports of the SWR2311P are as follows.
• With the default VTY port settings, eight VTY ports (ID: 0--7) can be used.
• To check the number of VTY ports, use the show running-config | include line vty command.
• To change the number of VTY ports, use the line vty command. (maximum 8 (ID: 0--7))
