fs.com Switches purchased in 2021

Below is the commands used to configure the switches we purchased in 2021

Initial Setup Notes for 5800 Series Switches

SSH into the switch with the default user:pass = "admin:admin"

First Change the password, note that we are using local authentication mode, not "aaa" mode. What is aaa mode? That's for authenticating against a radius/TACACS+ server.

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# line vty 0 7
Switch(config-line)# login
Switch(config-line)# line-password abc
Switch(config)# exit

Set the time

Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# clock set datetime 11:30:00 10 26 2013
Switch(config)# clock set summer-time dst date 3 13 2022 02:00:00 11 6 2022 02:00:00 120
Switch(config)# exit

Create VLANs

Setup Management Interface

Setup management on a vlan interface

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface vlan 10
switch(config)# ip address 10.10.129.X/24
switch(config)# Ctrl+z
Switch# show management ip address

Common Commands

The // at the end of the line indicates the start of a comment:

Switch# show interface status //show status of all the ports
Switch# show interface eth-0-49 //shows the status of eth-0-49

Switch# copy flash:/startup-config.conf mgmt-if scp://10.10.129.X/startup-config.conf
