Administration Interfaces
Theswitchsoftwareprovidesavarietyofuser‐interfacesforadministration.These
interfacesvaryincharacterandinthemethodsusedtoaccessthem:someare
text‐based,andsomearegraphical;someareavailablebydefault,andsome
requireconfiguration;somecanbeaccessedbylocalconnectiontotheswitch,
and
othersareaccessedremotelyusingvariousclientapplications.Forexample,
administrationcanbeperformedusinganyofthefollowing:
 TheFlexSystemchassismanagementmoduletools forgeneralchassis
management
 Abuilt‐in,text‐basedcommand‐lineinterfaceandmenusystemforaccessvia
serial‐portconnectionoranoptionalTelnetorSSHsession
 Thebuilt‐inBrowser‐BasedInterface(BBI)availableusingastandard
web‐browser
 SNMPsupportforaccess throughnetworkmanagementsoftwaresuchasIBM
Director.
Thespecificinterfacechosenforanadministrativesessiondependsonuser
preferences,aswellastheswitchconfigurationandtheavailableclienttools.
Inallcases,administrationrequiresthattheswitchhardwareisproperlyinstalled
andturnedon.(seethe

Industry Standard Command Line Interface
TheIndustryStandardCommandLineInterface(ISCLI)providesa simple,direct
methodforswitchadministration.Usingabasicterminal,youcanissue
commandsthatallowyoutoviewdetailedinformationandstatisticsaboutthe

Youcanestablishaconnectionto
theCLIinanyofthefollowingways:
 SerialconnectionviatheserialportontheCN4093(thisoptionisalwaysavail‐
