Validated Switches
The following switches (and firmwares) have been validates to work with the Anvil!:
- DGS-3130-series
 
Other models will be similar, but this is the tested model.
Serial Connection
| Note: Depending on your terminal emulator, the <Backspace> key may not work. If it doesn't, try pressing ctrl + h to delete the character to the left of your cursor. | 
You can use screen to connect to the switch. The example below is what you would use on most servers with an on-board serial port. If you have two, then port two would be /dev/ttyS1. If you are using a USB to serial adaptor, then you will use /dev/ttyUSB0 (or if it is a multi-port adapter, /dev/ttyUSB1, etc). If none of these work, you will need to consult your operating system documentation and/or serial port adapter to determine the proper /dev/ttyX device to use.
screen /dev/ttyUSBO 115200
The screen will be blank until you press <enter>.

To log in;
Switch>enable
Switch#
There is no default user name and password.
Exiting screen
To end your screen session, press ctrl + a together, release and then press k.
You will be asked if you want to kill the session, press y to confirm.
Really kill this window [y/n]
[screen is terminating]
Configure an IP address
By default, the switch uses the IP address 10.90.90.90/8. If this is not accessible, you can change the IP address using the console.
| Note: Super User level password can be an alphanumeric string, but cannot begin with a number. | 
Switch>enable
Switch#configure terminal 
Switch(config)#interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if)#ip address 10.201.1.3 255.255.0.0
Once this is set, connect to the Web interface to save the changes and/or make additional changes.
