This chapter describes how to configure and manage the BayStack 420 Switch
using the menu-driven console interface (CI).

•
Accessing the CI menus and screens
You can access the CI menus and screens locally through a console terminal
attached to your BayStack 420 Switch, remotely through a dial-up modem
connection, or in-band through a Telnet session (see
).
You can connect your console cable into any unit in a BayStack 420 Switch-only
stack for a unified stack interface. For the mixed stack management functions to
become fully operational, you must connect your console terminal into a
BayStack 420 Switch
port within your mixed stack.
For information about SNMP, see your network management documentation.
Note: If you have a properly configured BootP server in your network,
it detects the IP address; you will not need to configure the IP address.
