2. COMMAND LINE INTEFACE (CLI)
This chapter introduces you how to use Managed Switch CLI, specifically in:
• Local Console
• Telnet
• Configuring the system
• Resetting the system
2.1 Using the Local Console
Local Console is always done through the RS-232 DB-9 or RJ45 DB-9 port and requires a
direct connection between the switch and a PC. This type of management is very useful
especially when the network is down and the switch cannot be reached by any other means.
You also need to use the Local Console Management to setup the Switch network
configuration for the first time. You can setup the IP address and change the default
configuration to desired setting to enable Telnet or SNMP services.
Follow these steps to begin a management session using Local Console Management:
Step 1: Attach the serial cable to the RS-232 DB-9 or RJ-45 DB-9 port.
Step 2: Attach the other end to the serial port of a PC or workstation.
Step 3: Run a terminal emulation program using the following settings:
• Emulation VT-100/ANSI compatible
• BPS 9600
• Data bits 8
• Parity None
• Stop bits 1
• Flow Control None
• Enable Terminal keys
Step 4: Press Enter to access the CLI (Command Line Interface) mode.
