Overview 
Introduction 
The ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch provides two console management 
interfaces and a Web-based management interface. The command line interface (CLI) and 
menu-driven interface allow you to set up and control the switch modules using either the 
serial or Ethernet ports on the switch. This guide discusses how to use the menu-driven 
interface to set up and manage the interconnect switch. 
The menu-driven interface can be accessed either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal 
emulator) or over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. You can use the  
menu-driven interface to perform basic network management functions and to configure the 
switch modules for management using an Simple Network Management Protocol  
(SNMP)-based network management system.
