Configuring the IDS Switch
The IDS switch can be configured, operated and monitored using any of the following
methods. See the IDS User’s Guide for more details.
CLI
A text-based Command Line Interface based on industry standard syntax and structure.
The CLI can be accessed from the console port. Once a valid IP address is configured on
the switch, Telnet, SSH or the Web interface can also be used to access the switch for
administration purposes. See the IDS Command Line Reference Guide for more informa-
tion.
Web Device Manager
The Perle Web Device Manager is an embedded Web based application that provides an
easy to use browser interface for managing the switch. This interface provides the ability
to configure and manage the switch. This is accessible through any standard desktop web
browser. Requires the switch to have a valid IP address.
Fast Setup
This utility provides the ability to do either an initial setup (out of the box) or a recovery
setup. In order to use this utility a PC must be connected to one of the switches data ports and
the function is activated using the reset button on the front panel.
SNMP
The switch can be managed with an SNMP compatible management station that is run-
ning platforms such as HP Openview or Perle’s PerleVIEW NMS.
