N8406-023 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch Command Reference Guide (ISCLI) 8
ISCLI Reference
Introduction
The 1Gb Intelligent L3 Switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some of the more
advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be used effectively.
The extensive switching software included in the switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring
the switch:
Text-based command line interfaces (AOS CLI and ISCLI) for access via a local terminal or remote
Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) session
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for access through network management software
such as NEC WebSAM NetvisorPro
A browser-based management interface for interactive network access through a Web browser
The ISCLI provides a direct method for collecting switch information and performing switch configuration. Use a
basic terminal to view information and statistics about the switch, and to perform any necessary configuration.
This chapter explains how to access the ISCLI to the switch.
