The web-based user interface, called Chalet, is a quick way for setting up and viewing information about a switch. Chalet removes the need to know and remember commands in a CLI environment. Refer to this link for figuring out the link local IP address.įor older versions, web interface needs to be enabled with this command:Īs with the CLI, the web interface can be accessed with the default user credentials (default settings: User: admin, Password: 'no password set').

Additionally, plugging a cable into the Management port will trigger the switch to self-compute its IP address with a link local IP address, which can be use to log into Chalet. If these are all the changes you are wanting to make - save the running configurationįor OS versions 15.7 and later, http access to the switch web interface (referred to as Chalet) is available via management port IP address.A DHCP assigned address will need to be discovered to be accessed - you will not know what address has been assigned. To find an already assigned Management (or Primary) IP address (static or DHCP), or to check the configuration of a VLAN, type the following and replace with the name of the VLAN you are addressing:.The static IP needs to be first removed with the following command before DHCP can be enabled. Note: If default VLAN already has a static IP address, this command will throw an error. To automatically assign an IP address for the Management IP on the default VLAN via DHCP, type the following command:.This is the easiest way of connecting to a switch over IP, since the normal ports and default VLAN have access to the rest of the network.Ĭonfigure vlan default ipaddress 192.168.1.11/24 You can configure a static management IP address on the default VLAN (or other VLAN) to allow a management connection through the normal ports.The '/24' after the IP is a shortcut for specifying the subnet mask associated with an IP address, also known as CIDR notation. Note that the management port is isolated from the rest of the ports and VLANs on the switch. You can configure a management IP address on the dedicated Management port for increased security and isolation of management access. For manual IP address assignment for the Management port, type the following command, substituting your desired IP.There are a few different ways to assign a management IP address to the switch:

(Note these are IP or system port numbers, not physical port numbers). The switch will also support Telnet connections on port 23 if enabled. The default method to connect is via a SSH session on port 22.

Management IP addresses may be enabled on the dedicated Management port or on any of the 'normal' switch ports. You can configure a Management IP address if you prefer to connect to the switch over IP instead of serial.
