Chapter 2 Establishing Switch Access

Note: If you connect your terminal to the Standby SPV, you can get access to all the CLI commands by opening a Session to the Active SPV.

Establishing a Telnet Connection with the Switch (Inband)

Perform the following steps to establish a Telnet connection to the P460 for configuration:

You need to assign an inband interface IP address using a direct connection to the console serial port before you can establish the Telnet session.

1Connect your station to the I/O module (directly or via the network).

2Verify that you can communicate with the P460 using Ping to the inband interface IP of the P460. If there is no response using the Ping command, check the IP address and default gateway of both the P460 and the station.

The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

3Start a Telnet session:

From the Microsoft Windows® taskbar of your PC click Start and then Run or access the command prompt

Start the Telnet session by typing: telnet <P460_IP_address>

For example: telnet 149.49.35.214
