USING THE CONSOLE INTERFACE

Your DES-2212 Ethernet switch supports a console management interface that allows you to set up and control your switch, either with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator), or over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. You can use this facility to perform many basic network management functions. In addition, the console program will allow you to set up the switch for management using D-View or another SNMP-based network management system. This chapter describes how to use the console interface to access the switch, change its settings, and monitor its operation.

Connecting to the Switch

You can use the console interface by connecting to the switch using an ordinary RS-232C serial cable and a VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal emulator program (such as the terminal program included with the Windows operating system.) Your terminal parameters will need to be set to:

♦VT-100/ANSI compatible

♦Arrow keys enabled

♦9600 bits per second
