Command Line Interface
To access the switch through a Telnet session, you must first set the IP address for the switch, and
set the default gateway if you are managing the switch from a different IP subnet.
For example:
If your corporate network is connected to another network outside your office or to the Internet,
you need to apply for a registered IP address. However, if you are attached to an isolated
network, then you can use any IP address that matches the network segment to which you are
attached.
After you configure the switch with an IP address, you can open a Telnet session by performing
these steps:
1. From the remote host, enter the Telnet command and the IP address of the device you want to
access.
2. At the prompt, enter the user name and system password. The CLI will display the
“Console#” prompt for the administrator to show that you are using privileged access mode
(i.e., Privileged Exec), or “Console” for the guest to show that you are using normal access
mode (i.e., Normal Exec).
3. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
4. When finished, exit the session with the “quit” or “exit” command.
After entering the Telnet command, the login screen displays:

You can open up to four sessions to the device via Telnet.
