6.3.4 Command Line Interface (CLI)
Starting the CLI in a Windows console
Follow the steps outlined below to start the Command Line Interface in a Windows console:
1. Open a Windows console and type in the command telnet followed by the IP address of
the IE switch. C:\>telnet
2. Enter your login and password.
Starting the CLI in Web Based Management
Click on the "Console" entry in the upper menu bar of Web Based Management. A Telnet
connection opens automatically in which you can log on with your user name and password.
Shortcuts for commands
As an alternative, instead of entering full CLI commands, you can simply enter the first letter
or the first few letters and then press the Tab key. The Command Line Interface then
displays a command starting with the letter or letters you typed in. If the command displayed
is not the command you require, press the Tab key again to display the next command.
Directory structure
Before you can enter a command in the Command Line Interface, you must first open the
required menu or submenu. This section lists the commands of each menu in a separate
table. The table lists only the commands themselves.
