Functions Configuration MethodsParameter Loginmode password Loginmode radiusUser name RADIUS userUser password Login password RADIUS passwordTable 4: Login with SSHAfter successful login the SSH connection offers access to the command line interface (CLI)(handling see Chapter 2.2, "Handling of the Command Line Interface (CLI)").Establishing a connection via SSH can take a few seconds as the encryption has to benegotiated.2.1.5 Configuration via the Web InterfaceUsing one of the common web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple Safari, GoogleChrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer the web interface of the EDS500 device can beaccessed. The major device properties and functions can be set with the web interface. Also,the full extent of the commands can be executed either by typing in the commands into ainput field or assemble them by clicking on the keywords. Prerequisite is the reachabilityof the device via the IP network (Chapter 2.1.2, "Configuration via the IP Network"). Use thedevice IP address as target URL.Default configuration:The Web-Server is activated with the configuration HTTP with redirection to HTTPS.The handling of the web interface is described in detail in Chapter 2.5, "Handling in the WebInterface" .2.1.6 Configuration via SNMPSome of the device parameters can be set via SNMP access, see Chapter 2.27, "SNMP NetworkManagement" . Prerequisite is the reachability of the device via the IP network (refer toChapter 2.1.2, "Configuration via the IP Network"), and activated write access with SNMP.The default value for the write community string is: private.2.1.7 Configuration via TFTPThe Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a very simple file transfer protocol. TFTP onlysupports reading or writing files. The EDS500 managed switches uses TFTP to transfer forexample firmware, config files and certificates from and to the device.The device configuration as a whole (refer to Chapter 2.4, "Loading and Saving aConfiguration" , running-config, startup-config, stick-config) can be downloaded as a file viaTFTP and uploaded again from a TFTP server to a device (startup-config, stick-config).Prerequisite is the reachability of the device via the IP network (Chapter 2.1.2, "Configurationvia the IP Network").The TFTP transmission has to be started with the command line interface (CLI) (via serialterminal, Telnet or SSH), via the web interface or via SNMP.1KGT151021 V000 1 11
