
Use a telnet client, SSH client, or a direct console connection to access the CLI. The CLI syntax
and semantics conform as much as possible to common industry practice.
Use a network management system (NMS) to manage and monitor the system through SNMP. The switch
supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 over the UDP/IP transport protocol.
1.4.2. Management of Basic Network Information
The DHCP client on the switch allows the switch to acquire information such as the IP address and default
gateway from a network DHCP server. You can also disable the DHCP client and configure static network
information. Other configurable network information includes a Domain Name Server (DNS), host name to
IP address mapping, and a default domain name.
The switch also includes a DHCPv6 client for acquiring IPv6 addresses, prefixes, and other IPv6 network
configuration information.
1.4.3. Dual Software Images
The switch can store up to two software images. The dual image feature allows you to upgrade the switch
without deleting the older software image. You designate one image as the active image and the other
image as the backup image.
1.4.4. File Management
You can upload and download files such as configuration files and system images by using FTP, TFTP, Secure
FTP (SFTP), or Secure Copy (SCP). Configuration file uploads from the switch to a server are a good way to
back up the switch configuration. You can also download a configuration file from a server to the switch to
restore the switch to the configuration in the downloaded file.
1.4.5. FTP File Management
This feature adds support for file transfers using FTP protocol. FTP Transfers are supported over both IPv4
and IPv6. Upon failure of a FTP transfer operation, a LOG message is sent to the logging component, the
initiating application is notified of the failure, and any partial or temporary files for the transfer are
removed from persistent memory.
1.4.6. Malicious Code Detection
This feature provides a mechanism to detect the integrity of the image, if the software binary is corrupted
or tampered with while end user attempts to download the software image to the switch. This release
addresses this problem by using digital signatures to verify the integrity of the binary image. It also provides
flexibility to download a digitally signed configuration script and verify the digital signature to ensure the
integrity of the downloaded configuration file.
1.4.7. Automatic Installation of Firmware and Configuration
