the Switch.

CLI.

To end a management session, use the logout command or close the emulator program.
If you experience problems while making a connection, make sure the emulation is set to VT-100. The emulation settings
can be configured by:
1. Click File Menu in HyperTerminal
2. Click Properties from the drop-down menu
3. Click the Settings Tab
This is where you will find the Emulation options. If you still do not see anything, try rebooting the Switch by disconnecting
its power supply.
Once connected to the console, the following image appears. This is where the user will enter commands to perform all
the available management functions. The Switch will prompt the user to enter a user name and password. Logging on at
the beginning requires no username or password. Just press the Enter key twice to access the command line interface.
