How to Use the Command-line Interface
This chapter explains how to get management access to the Cajun M770 ATM
Switch command-line interface and how to use the command-line interface to
manage the switch.
Getting Connected
You can access the Cajun M770 ATM Switch command-line interface by one of the
following methods:
• Direct connection to an ATM module using a serial interface, using a VT100
terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. For information about
the serial interface, refer to the
module’s Installation Guides .
• Telnet connection, using a standard Telnet program to the ATM module.
• Direct Connection or Telnet Connection via the M-SPV/M-SPX/M-SPS
(S/W Ver 2.5 or higher). For more information, see to the M-SPS Installation
Guide.
When a terminal is connected to the command-line interface, the M770 ATM
Switch displays a welcome message on the terminal screen and logs the user
directly into the root of the command-line interface. You can set a password for
serial and telnet connections into the switch. For more information about setting
up a password, see Setting passwords for local/remote connections in Chapter 4,
Managing Miscellaneous Commands.
Note:
You can access the command-line interface using Telnet directly to the ATM
module only if the M770 ATM Switch’s management LEC is currently joined to an
ELAN that is accessible from the network management station, and the IP address
of the switch has been set. However, you can access the M770 ATM Switch via
Telnet to the M-SPV/M-SPX/M-SPS (using an Ethernet connection).
