Setting Up Command Line Interface Management 47

The initial set up of your switch is now complete and you can set up your management method. See “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 36.

Setting Up Command This section describes how you can set up command line interface management

Line Interfaceusing a local console port connection or over the network.

Management

User Interface Overview User interface configuration is provided by the switch to configure and manage the port data. There are two types of user interfaces:

■AUX User Interface—used to log in to your switch using the console port. A fabric can have up to one AUX user interface.

■VTY User Interface—used to Telnet to the switch. The switch can have up to five VTY user interfaces.

CLI Management using

To manage a switch using the command line interface using the local console port

the Console Port

connection:

1Ensure you have connected your workstation to the console port correctly as described in “Connecting to the Console Port” on page 42.

2Your switch is now ready to continue being managed and/or configured through the CLI using its console port.

CLI Management over

To manage a switch using the command line interface over a network using

the Network

Telnet:

1Ensure you have already set up the switch with IP information as described in “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 36.

2Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.

3Check you can communicate with the switch by entering a ping command at the DOS prompt in the following format:

c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the switch)

If you get an error message, check that your IP information was entered correctly and the switch is powered up.

4To open a Telnet session using the DOS prompt, enter the IP address of the switch that you wish to manage in the following format:

>telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the switch)

If opening a Telnet session using third party software you will need to enter the IP address in the format suitable for that software.

5At the login and password prompts, enter admin as your user name and press Return at the password prompt (or the password of your choice if you have already modified the default passwords).
