Setting Up
Command Line
Interface
Management
You can access the command line interface using:
■
A terminal or terminal emulator connected to the console port of a
Switch directly, or through a modem
■
A terminal or terminal emulator connected to a Switch over an IP
network using Telnet
Setting Up Through
the Console Port
To manage a Switch using the command line interface through the
console port:
1
You must connect the terminal or terminal emulator to the console port
correctly. If you are connecting directly to the console port, you need a
standard null modem cable. If you are connecting to the console port
using a modem, you need a standard modem cable. The console port of
the Switch has a male 9-pin d-type connector. You can find pin-out
diagrams for both cables in your Switch User Guide.
To connect the cable:
a
Attach the female connector on the cable to the male connector on
the console port of the Switch.
b
Tighten the retaining screws on the cable to prevent it from being
loosened.
c
Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal, terminal
emulator, or modem.
2
The terminal, terminal emulator, or modem must use the same settings as
the console port:
■
8 data bits
■
no parity
■
1 stop bit
To configure the settings of the terminal, terminal emulator, or modem,
see the documentation that accompanies it. If the Switch containing the
console port has auto-configuration enabled (default), the line speed
(baud) is detected automatically. The Switch can auto-detect a maximum
line speed of 19,200 baud.
3
Access the command line interface using the correct user name and
password. Default user names and passwords are described in
“Logging
in as a Default User”
