Setting Up Command Line Interface Management
41
CLI Management over
the Network
To manage a Switch using the command line interface over a network
using Telnet:
1
Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as
described in “Setting Up Overview” on page 30.
2
Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your
management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.
3
Check you can communicate with the Switch by entering a
ping
command at the DOS prompt in the following format:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch)
If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been
entered correctly and the Switch is powered up.
4
To open a Telnet session via the DOS prompt, enter the IP address of the
Switch that you wish to manage in the following format:
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch)
If opening a Telnet session via third party software you will need to enter
the IP address in the format suitable for that software.
5
At the login and password prompts, enter
admin
as your user name and
enter your password at the password prompt (or just press Return if you
have not yet set a password).
If the login prompt does not display immediately, press Return a few
times until it starts.
6
If you have logged on correctly, the top-level menu of the command line
interface for the Switch you wish to manage is displayed as shown in
Figure 9 on page 35.
