Hi

i configure the switch by "web ui" and now i cannot connect to switch by management port, and the switch is working when i connect the same cable to any interface and change my pc ip settings it connect fine

[balaji.bandi]

until we see the configuraiton we do not what you have configured ?

ssh to device and post show run

[ELASHALL]

is there another way to configure the switch rather than management port and console port because i don't have console cable.

[balaji.bandi]

Cat 9300 have 2 ports back-side, make sure you connected right port.

1 is for console

1 is MGMT  << you need to connect to this port.

if you able to connect other port and switch working, ssh to switch and post the configuration.

yes the switch is working fine, but how to "ssh" on any port! would you please give more details on how to ssh the switch, thank you in advance for your cooporation

if you have configured correctly. - if the switch is offering DHCP for you

get progam call putty (google help you)

check your default gateway IP (type ipconfig /all)

use putty to ssh to gateway IP address - you will be asked username/password. (after that enable .password)

# show run (post complete outpput)

or try https://gatewayip ( what you find above step (ip address will be x.x.x.x)

i will also advise spend some time on quick start guide :

Hi Mr Balaji this is what i got

no default gateway! even thou i made it 172.17.99.1 before the problem,

is it okay to connect through putty over any port or should i connect to console?

[balaji.bandi]

there is no IP given by switch, that is the default ARPA IP address.

As we mentioned, we are not sure what is configured on the switch to suggest best. Get console cable (most of the time come with Switch by default)

refer quick start guide. (spend some time reading the document, the steps are easy )

Hello Mr Balaji

at last i made it, now i can connect to this great Gibraltar with Fedora terminal , and this is what we got, is there any way to get back to webui ? i think that the management port is down.

one more question please, we have Network video surveillance, the DiVAR has two NICs working as a team and they are Switch independent, so what should i do on switch side, i think  we should make a port channel but what would be the setting of this port channel?

thanks mr balaji, or other guy who like to help

[balaji.bandi]

Glad to know all went well, happy to help.

hello

if i did a factory reset to the switch could i get back to web ui and configure the switch from web browser?
