2.2 Remote Console Management - Telnet
You can manage the Managed Switch via a Telnet session. However, you must first assign
a unique IP address to the Switch before doing so. Use the Local Console to login the
Managed Switch and assign the IP address for the first time.
Follow these steps to manage the Managed Switch through Telnet session:
Step 1: Use Local Console to set up the assigned IP parameters of the Managed Switch,
•
IP address
•
Subnet Mask
•
Default gateway IP address, if required
Step 2: Run Telnet.
Step 3: Log into the Switch CLI mode.
Limitations: When using Telnet, keep the following in mind:
Only two active Telnet sessions can access the Managed Switch at the same time.
2.3 Navigating CLI
The Command Line Interface (CLI) of this Managed Switch is divided into three different
modes. After you enter the required username and password, you start from the User mode.
The commands available depend on which mode you are currently in. Enter a question mark
(?) at the system prompt to obtain a list of commands available for each command mode.
When you successfully access the Switch, you begin in Root directory. Enter your username
and password, and then you will be directed to User mode. In CLI management, the User
mode only provides users basic functions to operate the Managed Switch. If you would like
to use advanced features of the Managed Switch, such as, VLAN, QoS, Rate limit control,
you must enter the Enable or Configuration mode. The following table provides an overview
of this Managed Switch.
