Chapter 2
Getting Familiar with Management Applications
This chapter describes how to manage a Foundry device using the various user interfaces listed in Table 2.1.
Logging on Through the CLI
Once an IP address is assigned to a Foundry device running Layer 2 software or to an interface on the Foundry
device running Layer 3 software, you can access the CLI either through the direct serial connection to the device
or through a local or remote Telnet session.
You can initiate a local Telnet or SNMP connection by attaching a cable to a port and specifying the assigned
management station IP address.
The commands in the CLI are organized into the following levels:
•
User EXEC – Lets you display information and perform basic tasks such as pings and traceroutes.
•
Privileged EXEC – Lets you use the same commands as those at the User EXEC level plus configuration
commands that do not require saving the changes to the system-config file.
