Chapter 3. Introduction to CLI
3.1 Introduction
The GSW-3208M2 Managed Gigabit Ethernet switch provides a number of configuration/management methods. The first
method of configuration/management uses a command line interface (CLI) via Console/Telnet/SSH access and is familiar
to most network engineers. This requires that networking be configured so that the device can be accessed via a LAN port.
Accessing the GSW-3208M2 from a network allows for both local and remote management.
For engineers that are not comfortable using CLI, this device should be managed using any standard Web Browser in a
more user friendly 'point-and-click' method. Therefore, in most configuration scenarios, Console/Telnet/SSH will only be
used by experienced networking engineers.
After the device has been properly configured for the application and placed into service, a third method of
configuration/management can be employed using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The operator will use
SNMP management software to manage and monitor the GSW-3208M2 switches on a network. This requires some
configuration of the device to allow SNMP management. In addition, the network management platform will need to
import and compile the proprietary MIB (management information base) file so that the management software knows
"how" to manage the GSW-3208M2.
3.2 Console Operation
Using the provided accessory cable, connect the "CONSOLE" port to the PC terminal communications port (DB9). Run any
terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal, PuTTY, TeraTerm Pro, etc.) and configure the communication parameters as
follows:
Speed: 115,200
Data: 8 bits
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow Control: None
From a cold start, the following screen will be displayed. At the "Username" prompt,
enter 'admin' with no password .
