Chapter 5: Prepare for Configuration
This chapter provides information on preparing the C360 for configuration, and discusses the following topics:
●
●
Establishing a Console Connection
Assigning a C360 IP Stack Address
●
●
Establishing a Telnet Connection
Establishing a Console Connection
This section describes the procedure for establishing switch access between a terminal and the
Avaya C360 switch over the serial port provided on the front panel of the C360 (RJ-45 connector labeled “Console”). For information on the console port pin assignments, refer to the
Avaya C360 Installation and Maintenance User Guide.

Prepare for Configuration
1. Use the serial cable supplied to attach the RJ-45 console connector to the Console port of the active C360 switch. Connect the DB-9 connector to the serial (COM) port on your PC/ terminal.
- The master C360 is indicated by the SYS LED being ON.
2. Ensure that the serial port settings on the terminal are:
●
●
9600 baud
8 bits
●
●
1 stop bit no parity.
- If you reset or powered up the switch after connecting and configuring the terminal,
Welcome to C360
appears followed by the Login Name prompt.
- If the login prompt does not appear, press a key on the terminal.
3. Enter the default login: root.
- The Password prompt appears
4. Enter the user level password: root.
- You can now establish a connection to the Router or the Master switch (indicated when the SYS front panel LED is ON) using the Session commands and begin the configuration of module, stack, or router parameters.
Assigning a C360 IP Stack Address
Note:
Note:
All C360 switches are shipped with the same default IP address. You must change the IP address of the master C360 switch in a stack in order to guarantee that the stack has its own unique IP address in the network.
The network management station or a workstation running a Telnet client can establish communications with the stack once this address had been assigned and the stack has been inserted into the network. Use the CLI to assign the C360 stack an IP address and net mask.
To assign a C360 IP stack address:
1. Establish a serial connection by connecting a terminal to the master C360 switch of the stack.
2. When prompted for a Login Name, enter the default name root
3. When you are prompted for a password, enter the password root. You are now in
Supervisor Level.

Establishing a Telnet Connection
4. At the prompt, type:
set interface inband
<vlan> <ip_address> <netmask>
Replace <vlan>, <ip_address> and <netmask> with the VLAN,
IP address, and net mask of the stack.
5. Press Enter to save the IP address and net mask.
6. At the prompt, type reset. Type y and press Enter to reset the stack. After the Reset, log in again as described above.
- At the prompt, type set ip route <dest> <gateway> and replace <dest> and
<gateway>
with the destination and gateway IP addresses.
Establishing a Telnet Connection
Perform the following steps to establish a Telnet connection to the C360 for configuration of
Stack or Router parameters. You can Telnet the Stack Master IP address:
1. Connect your station to the network.
2. Verify that you can communicate with the Avaya C360 by pinging the IP of the Avaya
C360. If there is no response using ping, check the IP address and default gateway of both the Avaya C360 and the station.
Tip:
Tip:
The Avaya C360 default IP address is 149.49.32.134 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
3. From the Microsoft Windows taskbar of your PC click Start and then Run (or from the
DOS prompt of your PC), then start the Telnet session by typing: telnet
<C360_IP_address>
For example: telnet 149.49.32.134
4. If the IP Address in the Telnet command is the IP address of the stack, then connection is established with the Switch CLI entity of the Master module.
●
The “Welcome to C360” screen appears
5. Enter the default name root at the Login name prompt.
6. Enter the User Level password root in lower case letters (do not use uppercase letters) at the Password prompt.
●
The User level prompt will appear when you have established communications with the Avaya C360.
You can now configure the Avaya C360 stack and change its IP address.

Configuring the Switch
This section describes the procedures for the first-time configuration of the Avaya C360. The factory defaults are set out in detail in the tables included in this chapter.
You may configure the Avaya C360 using the text-based Command Line Interface (CLI), the built-in Avaya C360 Device Manager or Avaya Integrated Management.
For instructions on the CLI, see the Avaya C360 Reference Guide.
For instructions on the use of the graphical user interfaces, refer to the C360 Device Manager
User Guide on the Avaya C360 Documentation and Utilities CD.
Avaya C360 Default Settings
The default settings for the Avaya C360 switch and its ports are determined by the Avaya C360 firmware. These default settings are subject to change in newer versions of the Avaya C360 firmware. See the C360 Release Notes for the most up-to-date settings.
