Setting Up Command Line Interface Management
This section describes how you can set up command line interface
management using a local console port connection or over the network.
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.
VTY User Interface—used to Telnet to the Switch. The Switch can have
up to five VTY user interfaces.

To manage a Switch using the command line interface using the local
console port connection:
1Ensure you have connected your workstation to the console port correctly
as described in “Connecting to the Console Port” on page 38.
2Your Switch is now ready to continue being managed and/or configured
through the CLI using its console port.
CLI Management over
the Network
To manage a Switch using the command line interface over a network
using Telnet:
1Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as
described in “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 32.
