Cisco CATALYST 2960 - Accessing the CLI through a Console Connection or through Telnet; Before you can access the CLI, you must connect a terminal or PC to the switch console port and power on the switch, as described in the getting started guide that shipped with your switch. Then, to understand the boot process and the options available for assigning IP information, see Chapter 3, “Assigning the Switch IP Address and Default Gateway.”; If your switch is already configured, you can access the CLI through a local console connection or through a remote Telnet session, but your switch must first be configured for this type of access. For more information, see the “Setting a Telnet Password for a Terminal Line” section on page 9-6.; Use any Telnet TCP;IP or encrypted Secure Shell (SSH) package from a remote management station. The switch must have network connectivity with the Telnet or SSH client, and the switch must have an enable secret password configured.
