It provides easy device rack & wall mounting, on boarding, configuration, monitoring, & troubleshooting. These fully managed switches can provide Layer 3 Core & Data Center features as well as supports IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE (Power over Ethernet) & 802.3at-compliant PoE+ (Power over Ethernet plus). Each switchport is capable to deliver either 15.4 W PoE or 30 W PoE+ power on all ports. PoE/PoE+ capable models provide power across all access ports for wireless APs, security cameras, & other IoT devices with power budget up to 2400W. Designed for operational simplicity to lower total cost of ownership, they enable scalable, secure, & energy-efficient business operations with intelligent & automated services. These switches come with lifetime free software upgrades & patching to enhance features & supports patching, which provides fixes for critical bugs & security vulnerabilities between regular maintenance upgrades. This support allows customers to add new features & upgrades without having to pay a single dollar.
It offers robust QoS, to optimize traffic on your Business Network, these switches provide (Port-based/802.1p/DSCP) QoS to keep latency-sensitive video & voice traffic jitter-free moving smoothly. Additionally, port-based, tag-based VLAN, Voice VLANs can improve security & meet more network segmentation requirements. This series switches also have provisioning of QOS, Static routing, IPV6 features. Moreover, with its innovative energy-efficient technology, can save up to 58% of power consumption, making it an eco-friendly perfect solution for your business network.
Management Access Modes
COMMANDO Marshall advanced IP services, Data center routing switches Management is made easy via a industry-st&ard command Line Interface (CLI) via Console/Telnet/ETH port or web-based Graphical User Interface (WEBUI) access via HTTP/HTTPS with administration traffic protected via , SNMP v1/v2C/v3, SSH v1/v2, RMON v1/v2 which enables the switch to be polled for valuable status information & allows it to send traps when abnormal events occur.
Remote Manageability
Remote management is the process that allows the administrators to take full control of all operations using a remote. This remote management via WEBUI / Telnet/ SSH/ HTTPS will reduce time & money spent on management & maintenance & physical presence of Network Engineer.
Management by CLI - Console, Telnet (RFC854) up to 8 sessions.
Management by WebUI- HTTP, HTTPS for management Based on Remote Configuration & maintenance Using Telnet.
In this CLI guide we will underst& Management by command Line Interface(CLI) through console port, telnet & ETH out of b& management mode.
Accessing the C3500 Switch via console port
How to Login COMMANDO Series C3500 via console port?
The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to an VT100–compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal emulator program (e.g., the HyperTerminal program included with the Windows operating system) using an RS–232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set to: VT–100 compatible with 115200 baud. Users may also access the same functions over a Telnet interface. Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet program (in VT–100 compatible terminal mode) to access & control the Switch. All of the screens are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface.
Step 1 : Connect the Switch console port with PC/Laptop via console cable.
