Introducing Commands
This chapter introduces commands and gives a summary of commands available.
42.1 Overview
In addition to the web configurator, you can use commands to configure the switch. Use
commands for advanced switch diagnosis and troubleshooting. If you have problems with
your switch, customer support may request that you issue some of these commands to assist
them in troubleshooting.
Note: See the web configurator parts of this User’s Guide for background information
on features configurable by the web configurator.
42.2 Accessing the CLI
You can use a direct console connection or Telnet to access the command interpreter on the
switch.
Note: The switch automatically logs you out of the management interface after five
minutes of inactivity. If this happens to you, simply log back in again.
• By default, multiple command interpreter management session are allowed via either the
console port or Telnet. However, no more than five concurrent login sessions are
allowed.
• Use the configure multi-login command in the configuration mode to limit
concurrent logins to one. Console port access has higher priority.
42.2.1 The Console Port
Connect to the switch’s console port using a terminal emulation software configured to the
following settings:
• VT100 terminal emulation
• 9600 bps
• No parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
