Chapter 5 - Command Line Interface
5. 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 don’t know the
command function. Note
