Configure ENSER-8

ENSER-8

This article explains the basics on how to configure the ENSER-8 (Cisco IE-3000-8TC).

Connect to the switch

To configure the switch use the cable that came with the switch and connect to the console port.

IE-3000-8TC - Connection port

Use a terminal that supports serial, for example PuTTY

• Baud rate default is 9600
• Data bits default is 8
• Stop bits default is 1
• Parity settings default is none

Initial Configuration Information

To set up the switch, you need to complete the setup program, which runs automatically after the switch is powered on.

Setup Program

Step 1

Enter yes at these two prompts:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes

Step 2

Enter a hostname for the switch, and press Return:
Enter host name [Switch]: host_name

Step 3

Enter an enable secret password, and press Return:
Enter enable secret: secret_password

Step 4

Enter an enable password, and press Return:
Enter enable password: enable_password

Step 5

Enter a virtual terminal (Telnet) password, and press Return:
Enter virtual terminal password: terminal-password

Step 6

(Optional) Configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) by responding to the prompts.
To configure SNMP later, enter no:
Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: no

Step 7

Enter the interface name (physical interface or VLAN name) of the interface that connects to the management network, and press Return.
For this release, always use vlan1 as that interface:
Enter interface name used to connect to the management network from the above interface summary: vlan1

Step 8

Configure the interface by entering the switch IP address and subnet mask and pressing Return.
The IP address and subnet masks shown below are examples:
Configuring interface vlan1:
Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes
IP address for this interface: 10.4.120.106
Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0]: 255.0.0.0

Step 9

Enter no to configure it as a standalone switch:
Would you like to enable as a cluster command switch? [yes/no]: no

Step 10

To save the configuration and use it the next time the switch reboots, save it in NVRAM by selecting option 2:
Enter your selection [2]:2

After you complete the setup program, the switch can run the default configuration that you created. Ifyou want to change this configuration or want to perform other management tasks, use one of these tools:

• Command-line interface (CLI)
• Cisco Network Assistant (for one or more switches)

Understanding Command Modes

The Cisco user interface is divided into many different modes.
The commands available depend on which mode you are currently in.
Entering a question mark (?) will give you a list of commands available for each mode.
The four most used modes are:

• User EXEC
• Privileged EXEC
• Global configuration
• Interface configuration

Mode:	Access Method:	Prompt:	Exit Method:	About This Mode:
102 3598 000		Exigo Overvoltage Protection 2x 100V/70V lines (1 per ENA2200)
102 3598 100		Exigo Overvoltage Protection 3x I/O lines
N/A		Bourns 1250-2S-230 (surge protection - 230VAC)
N/A		Bourns 1320-S-48 (surge protection - 48VDC)
300 5010 176	SPA-REL-V2	Multipurpose potential free relay contact
