USING THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
The Switch allows a computer or terminal to perform some basic monitoring and configuration tasks by
using the Command Line Interface (CLI) via TELNET protocol.
NOTE:
Switch configuration settings are saved to non-volatile RAM using the 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 is loaded.
The command line functions are accessed over a Telnet interface. Once an IP address for the Switch has
been set, A Telnet program can be used (in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the
Switch.
After the Switch reboots and you have to logged in, the console looks like this:
