Methods of Managing the Switch
You can manage the switch using the following methods:
❑ Access the CLI by connecting a terminal (or workstation with
terminal-emulation software) to the console port.
❑ Access the CLI over a TCP/IP network using a Telnet
connection.
❑ Use an SNMP Network Manager over a network running the IP
protocol.
The switch can support up to multiple user sessions concurrently, as
follows:
❑ One console session
❑ Eight Telnet sessions
Using the
Console Interface
The CLI built into the switch is accessible by way of the 9-pin, RS-232
port labeled console, located on the back of the Switch.
Note
For more information on the console port pinouts, refer to the switch
hardware installation guide.
Once the connection is established, you will see the switch prompt
and you may log in.
