The DES-3226S supports a console management interface that
allows the user to connect to the switch’s management agent via a
serial port and a terminal or a computer running a terminal
emulation program. The console can also be used over the network
using the TCP/IP TELNET protocol. The console program can be
used to configure the switch to use an SNMP-based network
management software over the network.
This chapter describes how to use the console interface to access the
switch, change its settings, and monitor its operation.
Switch configuration settings are saved to non-
volatile RAM using
save
command. The current
configuration will then be retained in the switch’s
NV-RAM, and reloaded when the switch is
rebooted. If the switch is rebooted without using
the save command, the last configuration saved to
NV-RAM will be loaded.
Connecting to the Switch
The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a VT100-
compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal
emulator program (e.g., the
Hyper Terminal
program included
