DES-3226S Layer 2 Switch CLI Reference

USING THE CONSOLE CLI

The DES-3226S supports a console management interface that allows the user

to connect to the switch’s management agent via a serial port and a terminal or

a computer running a terminal emulation program. The console can also be

used over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. The console program

can be used to configure the switch to use an SNMP-based network

management software over the network.

This chapter describes how to use the console interface to access the switch,

change its settings, and monitor its operation.

Note: Switch configuration settings are saved to non-

volatile RAM using the save command. The current

configuration will then be retained in the switch’s NV-

RAM, and reloaded when the switch is rebooted. If the

switch is rebooted without using the save command, the

last configuration saved to NV-RAM will be loaded.

Connecting to the Switch

The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a 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

• 9,600 baud

• 8 data bits

• No parity

• One stop bit

• No flow control
