GigaX3112 Series Layer 3 Managed Switch

Console interface

This chapter describes how to use console interface to conﬁgure the switch. The

switch provides RS232 and USB connectors to connect your PC. Use a terminal

emulator on your PC such as HyperTerminal and command line interpreter to

conﬁgure the switch. You have to set up the terminal emulator with baud rate

9600, 8 bit data, no parity, and 1 stop bit, and no ﬂow control.
Once you enter CLI mode, type “?” will display all available command help

messages. This is very useful when you are not familiar with the CLI commands.

All the CLI commands are case sensitive.

5.1 Power On Self Test

POST is executing during the system booting time. It tests system memory, LED

and hardware chips on the switchboard. It displays system information as the

result of system test and initialization. You can ignore the information until the

prompt, “ASUS login:” appears.

5.1.1 Boot ROM command mode

During the POST process, you can enter a “Boot ROM Command” mode by

pressing key. Enter the “?” key to show the help messages for all

available commands.

Although the commands are helpful in some situation, we

STRONGLY suggest users not to use them if you donʼt know the

command function.
