This chapter describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI).
The CLI is a quick and simple interface that is built-in to the hub, which
allows you to enter various IP address settings, reset it and initialize it.
The web interface and Quick Config Manager can perform most of
the tasks that the CLI can do.
You would normally use the CLI if you have many hubs that you want
to set up quickly with IP address information, for eventual management
using an SNMP network management application.
Simple help is provided with each command in the Command Line
Interface.
Ensure that your terminal or management station (which has the
terminal emulator) has been appropriately set up for your particular
management method and that any necessary connections have been
made, refer to “Command Line Interface (CLI)” on page 5-8.
If you have any problems using the CLI, refer to “Solving Problems
With the Command Line Interface” on page 8-3.
