D-Link DGS-1210-52/ME rev.A [19/457] Introduction

DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide

INTRODUCTION

The DGS-1210-10/ME, DGS-1210-20/ME, DGS-1210-28/ME, DGS-1210-28P/ME and DGS-1210-52/ME are L2

Managed Metro Ethernet switches. They consist of 16/24/48 10/100/1000Mbps ports plus 4 dedicated SFP

ports.

The Switch can be managed through the Switch’s serial port, Telnet, or the Web-based management agent. The

Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the Switch via the serial port or Telnet

interfaces.

This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI. Configuration and management

of the Switch via the Web-based management agent is discussed in the Manual. For detailed information on

installing hardware please refer also to the Manual.

Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port.

The Switch’s serial port’s default settings are as follows:

 VT-100 compatible

 Firmware version 6.10: Baud rate 115200bps

Firmware version 6.11: Baud rate 9600bps

 8 data bits

 No parity

 One stop bit

 No flow control

A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100 terminal and a serial port

configured as above then connected to the Switch’s serial port via an RJ-45 cable.

With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible. If this

screen does not appear, try pressing Ctrl+r to refresh the console screen.

Figure 1–1 Initial CLI screen

There is no initial username or password. Just press the Enter key twice to display the CLI input cursor − DGS-

1210-28P/ME:5#. This is the command line where all commands are input.

Setting the Switch’s IP Address

Each Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with an SNMP network

manager or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP). The Switch’s default IP address is

10.90.90.90. You can change the default Switch IP address to meet the specification of your networking address

scheme.

The Switch is also assigned a unique MAC address by the factory. This MAC address cannot be changed, but

can be found on the initial boot console screen – shown below.
