Overview
Introduction
The ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch provides command line, menu-driven,
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Web-based management interfaces. The
command line interface (CLI) and menu-driven interface allow you to set up and control the
switch modules using either the serial or Ethernet ports on the switch. This guide discusses
how to use the CLI to set up and manage the interconnect switch.
The command line interface provides standard scripting capabilities as well as enhanced
systems management, monitoring, and deployment. The CLI can be accessed remotely via
Telnet, or locally via the RS-232 console and SLIP sessions.
For quick reference, Appendix A provides a comprehensive listing of the commands
supported by the command line interface.
