This section describes using the Command line Interface (ClI) to
manage the device. The device is managed through the ClI from a
direct connection to the device console port.
Using the ClI, network managers enter configuration commands and
parameters to configure the device. Using the ClI is very similar to
entering commands on a UnIX system.
To start using the ClI via a console port:

Connect the RJ-45 cable to the Console port of the switch to the
serial port of the terminal or computer running the terminal
emulation application.
2
Set the baud rate to 38400.
