NE2572O Installation Guide
Connecting to the Switch
Use the switch Command ‐ Line Interface (CLI) to perform additional configuration
tasks. You can access the CLI in any of the following ways:
 Telnet connection over the network
 SSH connection over the network
 Serial connection via the serial port on the switch (this option is always
available)
When reloaded, the switch will boot in ONIE Install mode.
Using SSH or Telnet
You can access the switch CLI using a Telnet or a SSH client. Make sure ONIE
receives an IP address provided by the network’s DHCP server. To do so, please
check the DHCP client lease database (
dhcpd.leases
file).
Once the connection is setup, no password is required.
Use the following command to access the ONIE log file:
Using the Serial Console Port
You can access the switch CLI through the serial console port on the front panel of
the switch. This port uses RS ‐ 232 serial communications. Use the console cable kit to
connect the serial console port to a terminal or a computer running a terminal
emulation program.
The console port terminal ‐ emulation requirements are as follows:
 Default baud rate = 115,200 bps
 Character size = 8 characters
 Parity = none
 Stop bits = 1
 Data bits = 8
 Flow control = none
Using the Management Port
If the switch is connected to a network that employs DHCP, you can also access the
switch CLI through the RJ45 management port. This port uses Ethernet
communications and can be accessed using Telnet via the IP address provided by
the network’s DHCP server.
