Switching Module
Administration
Console
Each switch fabric module and LAN interface module has a built-in
management interface called the Administration Console. It is a
menu-driven CLI that provides module-specific menus and parameters.
(i.e., the menus are different between Layer 2 Switching Modules and
Multilayer Switching Modules). You use this interface to configure all
parameters for a particular module and to display module statistics and
summary configurations.
To access the Administration Console on a particular switching module in
the chassis, you must first log in to the Management Module and then
connect to the module slot. You can view the Administration Console
from a terminal, a PC, a Macintosh, or a UNIX workstation.
For more information about the features and options in the
Administration Console, see the chapters in Part II of this guide. For
information on specific commands, see the
Switch 4007 Command
Reference Guide .
