Chapter 9. Setting-Up and Using the Configuration Console
This chapter describes:
How to enter commands and get help on the IBM 8285 Nways ATM Workgroup Switch configuration
console
Procedures for setting up the configuration console in Normal (ASCII) mode
Procedures for setting up the configuration console to operate via a SLIP protocol connection
How to set up a TELNET session to manage the IBM 8285 Nways ATM Workgroup Switch from a
remote console.
How to reconfigure configuration console settings.
Normal Mode and SLIP Mode
The commands for configuring the ATM Workgroup Switch 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.
Procedure: To configure the configuration console in Normal mode, follow the procedures
under “Setting Up a Configuration Console in Normal (ASCII) Mode” on page 77.
SLIP mode
In SLIP mode, commands are entered via a TELNET session between an IP workstation and
the workgroup switch.
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 workgroup switch.
(See “UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD Operations” on page 144.)
This method requires an initial connection in Normal mode to set up the IP addresses and
change the port protocol.
Procedure: To configure the configuration console in SLIP mode, follow the procedures
under “Setting Up a Configuration Console in SLIP Mode” on page 78.
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” on
page 82.
Using an SNMP management application, as described in Chapter 19, “Network and Switch
Management” on page 139.
