Using the Console Interface

You can manage the switch using the following methods:

■Access the CLI by connecting a terminal (or workstation with terminal-emulation software) to the console port.

■Access the CLI over a TCP/IP network using a Telnet connection.

■Access the Web interface over a TCP/IP network, using a standard Web browser (such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or greater).

■Use an SNMP Network Manager over a network running the IP protocol.

The switch can support multiple user sessions concurrently, as follows:

■One console session

■Eight Telnet sessions

■One Web session

The CLI built into the switch is accessible by way of the 9-pin, RS-232 port labelled console, located on the back of the Switch 9100.

For more information on the console port pinouts, refer to Chapter 2.

Once the connection is established, you will see the switch prompt and you may log in.

Using Access	Access profiles are used by several switch features as a way to restrict
Profiles	access. An access profile is a named list of IP addresses and subnet masks.
	To use access profiles, you must first define the list, and then apply the
	named list to the desired application.
