Starting the CLI
The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console
port, or via a Telnet connection. The switch is managed by entering
command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the switch CLI
commands is similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure the device has an IP address
defined, corresponding management access is granted, and the workstation
used to access the device is connected to the device prior to using CLI
commands.
Accessing the CLI from the Console Line
1.
Start the device and wait until the startup procedure is complete. The User
Exec mode is entered, and the prompt "console>" is displayed.
