5.2.2 Starting the CLI

The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port, or via a Telnet

connection. The switch can also be managed via an out-of-band (OOB) management port. The switch is

managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the switch command-line

interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.

If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure that the device has an IP address defined, that corresponding

management access is granted, and that the workstation used to access the device is connected to the

device prior to beginning using CLI commands.

Note: The following steps are for use on the console line only.

To begin running CLI, perform the following:

1. Start the device and wait until the startup procedure is complete.

2. The User Exec mode is entered into, and the prompt "console>" is displayed.

3. Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks.

4. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command.

When a different user is required to log onto the system, in the Privileged EXEC Command mode the

login command is entered. This effectively logs off the current user and logs on the new user.
