Chapter 3
Using the Console Interface
This chapter describes how to configure and manage the BayStack 410-24T
switch using the menu-driven console interface (CI).
This chapter covers the following topics:
•
Accessing the CI menus and screens
•
Using the CI menus and screens
•
Description of options available from the main menu
You can access the CI menus and screens locally through a console terminal,
remotely through a dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a TELNET
session (see “
Console/Comm Port
” on
page 2-10
).
You can also manage the BayStack 410-24T switch using Nortel Networks
Optivity network management software or any generic SNMP-based management
software; however, certain parameters such as the switch IP address, or stack IP
address, if configured, must be supplied for the switch management function to
become fully operational (see “
Initial Setup
” on page
page 2-17
).
For information about SNMP, see your network management documentation.
Note:
If your stack configuration includes one or more Business Policy
Switches, you must use the Business Policy Switch console interface to
configure or monitor your stack.
Note:
If you have a properly configured BootP server in your network, it will
detect the IP address; you will not need to configure the IP address.
