6.3 Configuration using Web Based Management (WBM) and
Command Line Interface (CLI)
Introduction
To make the best possible use of the technical possibilities of the IE switches, you can adapt
the configuration of the device to the concrete situation in which it is used. There are two
ways of configuring an IE switch:
● With the Command Line Interface, you can configure IE switches via Telnet or SSH (an
Ethernet connection is necessary). You can enable or disable Telnet or SSH using Web
Based Management.
● Web Based Management accesses the configuration of an IE switch over a Web
browser. An Ethernet connection to the IE switch is necessary.
NOTICE
Depending on the selected configuration method, the following mechanisms are
integrated to prevent unauthorized access to an IE switch:

CLI via TELNET or SSH
A CLI session is interrupted automatically if no input is made for more than five
minutes. This value can be assigned using the CLI (up to 600 s). The automatic
interruption of a CLI session can also be disabled with CLI.
 Web Based Management
There is an automatic logout after 5 minutes; you can, however, also log out
manually using a "Logout" button on the user interface located in the header of Web
Based Management. Exiting the browser does does not close the session. If the
browser is started again within these 5 minutes, the session continues to be used.
Note
All the configuration changes are adopted in the flash memory after approximately 1 minute
or after a warm restart. You should therefore run the "Restart" command in the command
line interface or in Web Based Management before turning off the device. You can then be
certain that all the configuration changes have been saved.
Note
To use SNMP Management, RMON, and traps, you require a network management station.
This does not ship with IE switches.
