Using the Command-Line Interface

You can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Access the CLI either by connecting your PC directly to the switch module console port or through a Telnet session from a remote PC or workstation.

Follow these steps:

Step 1 Connect the supplied RJ-45-to DB-9 adapter cable to the standard 9-pin serial port on the PC. Connect the other end of the cable to the console port on the switch module.

Step 2 Start a terminal-emulation program on the PC.
