6 Configuration and diagnostics via
Command Line Interface (CLI)
6.1 Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based tool that can be used to configure and
diagnose the switch. The CLI is accessed by means of a connection via Telnet (factory de-
fault) or SSH. The configuration of the CLI service via the switch's web-based management
is described in “Assigning IP parameters via BootP” on page 19.
6.2 Access to the CLI
The CLI is accessed via a Telnet connection (factory default) or SSH connection from a
management host, e.g., a PC. For example, the Windows command prompt or the PuTTY
freeware tool can be used as an input terminal.
The switch requires an IP address and a subnet mask in order to access the CLI. The con-
figuration of the switch network parameters is described in “Assigning IP parameters via
BootP” on page 19 and “Network” on page 39.
