•
Port Channel —Contains commands to configure port-channels, for example, assigning ports
to a VLAN or port-channel. Most of these commands are the same as the commands in the
Ethernet interface mode, and are used to manage the member ports as a single entity. The

Starting the CLI
The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port, or via a Telnet
connection. The switch is managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt.
Using the switch command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX
system.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure the device has an IP address defined, corresponding
management access is granted, and the workstation used to access the device is connected to the
device prior to using CLI commands.
NOTE: The following steps are for use on the console line only.
To start using the CLI, perform the following steps:
