SLIP mode

In SLIP mode, commands are entered via a TELNET session between an IP workstation and the 6416SW.

If your workstation supports TFTP, it can also be used as a TFTP server to perform DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD operations between your workstation

and the ONcore. (See “Uploading and Downloading Operations” on page 6-5.)

Note: If no activity takes place for a period of 20 minutes, the console is automatically returned to normal mode.

This method requires an initial connection in Normal mode to set up the IP addresses and change the port protocol.
