You need to assign your management workstation an IP address in 
the 169.254.n.n subnet or your workstation must have access to 
that subnet through routing devices.

Refer to the AT-8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface 
User’s Guide for instructions on how to configure the switch for secure 
HTTPS web browser management.

Refer to the AT-8100 Series AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface 
User’s Guide for instructions on how to configure the switch for SNMP 
management. The switch does not have any default SNMP community 
strings.

The command line interface of the Local, Telnet, and SSH management 
methods gives you the ability to configure all of the features and 
parameters on the switch. Many of the commands have the PORT 
parameter, which you use to identify the networking ports on the switch. 
This parameter has the following format:

Figure 44. PORT Parameter in the Command Line Interface

The first number is the switch’s stack ID number. The stack ID number in 
the PORT parameter for stand-alone switches is not the value 0 displayed 
by the Stack ID LED. Rather, it is 1. Be sure to enter 1, not 0, as the stack 
ID number in the PORT parameter when configuring stand-alone switches.

The slot ID value, which is used to specify slot numbers in a multi-module 
chassis, does not apply to the 8100L and 8100S Series switches and 
should always be 0.

The third value is a port number on the switch. You may specify only one 
port number in a PORT parameter, but you may specify more than one 
PORT parameter in many of the commands where the parameter is 
supported.

Here is an example of the PORT parameter on a stand-alone switch. It 
uses the INTERFACE command to enter the Port Interface mode for ports 
15 and 17:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.15,port1.0.17
