Chapter 2. Setting-Up and Using a Configuration Console
This chapter describes:
How to enter commands and get help on the CPSW configuration console
How to set up the CPSW configuration console in Normal (ASCII) mode
How to set up the CPSW configuration console via a SLIP protocol connection
How to access the CPSW from a remote console via TELNET
How to reconfigure configuration console settings.
Overview
The commands for configuring the CPSW are entered using a configuration console (ASCII terminal or
workstation) connected to the console port. The console can communicate in one of two ways:
Normal (ASCII) mode
In normal mode, commands are entered directly from the configuration console.
See “Setting Up a Configuration Console in Normal (ASCII) Mode” on page 12 for instructions
on connecting a configuration console to the CPSW in Normal mode.
SLIP mode
In SLIP mode, commands are entered via a TELNET session between an IP workstation and
the CPSW.
If your workstation supports TFTP, it can also be used as a TFTP server to perform
DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD operations between your workstation and the 8265. (See “Upload
and Download Operations” on page 119.)
Note: If no activity takes place for a period of 20 minutes, the console is automatically
returned to normal mode.
This method requires an initial connection in Normal mode to set up the IP addresses and
change the port protocol.
See “Setting Up a Configuration Console in SLIP Mode” on page 13 for instructions on
connecting a configuration console to the CPSW in SLIP mode.
After the switch has been initially configured, it is also possible to configure and manage the switch:
From a remote TELNET sessions, as described in “TELNET Sessions Via a Remote Switch or
Workstation” on page 18.
Using an SNMP management application.
Before You Start
The following section describes keystrokes and the command syntax to use to enter commands from a
configuration console. For a complete description of all configuration commands, see the
IBM 8265
Command Reference Guide.
