The switch can be managed through the switch’s serial port, 

Telnet, or the Web-based management agent. The Command 

Line Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the 

switch via the serial port or Telnet interfaces. 

This manual provides a reference for all of the commands 

contained in the CLI. Configuration and management of the 

switch via the Web-based management agent is discussed in the 

User’s Guide. 

Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port 

The switch’s serial port’s default settings are as follows: 

•  9600 baud 

•  no parity 

•  8 data bits 

•  1 stop bit 

A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of 

emulating a VT-100/ANSI terminal and a serial port configured 

as above is then connected to the switch’s serial port via an RS-

232 DB-9 cable.
