Chapter 4: Command Line Interface
This chapter describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Using the Command Line Interface
Accessing the CLI
When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct connection to the
server’s console port, or via a Telnet connection, the switch can be managed by entering
command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the switch's command-line
interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.
Console Connection
To access the switch through the console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user names
are “admin” and “guest” with corresponding passwords of “admin” and “guest.”)
When the administrator user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the
“Console#” prompt and enters privileged access mode (i.e., Privileged Exec). But
when the guest user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the “Console>”
prompt and enters normal access mode (i.e., Normal Exec).
2. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
3. When finished, exit the session with the “quit” or “exit” command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen displays:
