Accessing the CLI Using Telnet
Once the remote interface is configured with a valid IP address, you can
access the device through Telnet.
The Telnet client must have a route set up to allow access to the device. See
step 3 of “Configuring the Remote Management Interface” on page 3-11.
Note: A maximum of 10 Telnet sessions can be connected at the same
time.
For a procedure see “Accessing the CLI using Telnet” on page 3-12.
Configuring the Local Management Interface
The local management interface accepts untagged packets only; all tagged
packets are dropped.
The factory default IP addresses and subnets for 5160 are documented in
39XX/51XX Product Fundamentals. The default values are automatically
entered if the switch is reset to factory defaults.
You can configure the local management interface directly by using this
procedure, or automatically by using DHCP. See “Configuring an Interface
using DHCP” on page 3-5.
Note: The local and remote management interfaces cannot be configured
to the same IP subnet.
For more information on provisioning commands for the local interface, see
39XX/51XX Command Reference.
For a procedure see “Configuring the Local Management Interface” on page
3-13.
Configuring an Interface using DHCP
DHCP can be used for automatic configuration on IP networks. By default,
DHCP is enabled to run on the remote interface. When DHCP is disabled,
static IP addresses must be assigned for all interfaces. When DHCP is
enabled, you have the option of using it to configure the remote interface or
the local interface, but not both. The interface that is not using DHCP must
have a static IP address.
CAUTION: Use caution when setting an IP address or subnet mask, the new value
takes effect immediately. If information is set that is inconsistent with network
settings, communication with the device may no longer be possible. If all other
troubleshooting methods have been exhausted, recovery may be possible using the
Reset button.
