Overview
Using ExtremeWare XOS, you can manage the switch using the following methods:
• Access the command line interface (CLI) by connecting a terminal (or workstation with
terminal-emulation software) to the console port.
• Access the switch remotely using TCP/IP through one of the switch ports or through the dedicated
10/100 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet management port. Remote access includes:
— Telnet using the CLI interface.
— Secure Shell (SSH2) using the CLI interface.
— Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) access using EPICenter or another SNMP
manager.
