ISCLI Reference

Introduction

The 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some of the more advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be used effectively.

The extensive switching software included in the switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring the switch:

•Text-based command line interfaces (AOS CLI and ISCLI) for access via a local terminal or remote Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) session

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for access through network management software such as NEC WebSAM NetvisorPro

•A browser-based management interface for interactive network access through a Web browser

The ISCLI provides a direct method for collecting switch information and performing switch configuration. Use a basic terminal to view information and statistics about the switch, and to perform any necessary configuration.

This chapter explains how to access the ISCLI to the switch.

Connecting to the switch

You can access the command line interface in one of the following ways:

•Using a console connection via the console port

•Using a Telnet connection over the network

•Using a Secure Shell (SSH) connection to securely log in over a network

Establishing a console connection

To establish a console connection with the switch, you need:

•A null modem cable with a female DB-9 connector (See the N8406-022 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch User’s Guide for more information.)

•An ASCII terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software set to the parameters shown in the table below

This capability is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time data access and transfer, such as those in financial services, media, and telecommunications.

The N8406-022 is equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features that help prioritize critical network traffic. This means that voice and video data packets can be given precedence over less time-sensitive information, ensuring that essential communication remains clear and uninterrupted. This is crucial for organizations leveraging VoIP and video conferencing solutions.

In terms of connectivity, the NEC N8406-022 offers a variety of ports, including multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, which facilitate high-speed data transfer and enable seamless integration into existing network infrastructures. The device may also include 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports, providing the flexibility for high-capacity uplinks to support bandwidth-intensive applications and storage solutions.

Security is another focal point of the NEC N8406-022, with integrated features such as VLAN support, access control lists (ACLs), and port security measures. These capabilities protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and ensure that only legitimate users and devices can connect to the network.

Moreover, the N8406-022 often incorporates advanced energy-efficient technologies that minimize power consumption without compromising performance. This not only contributes to operational cost savings but also supports organizations in their sustainability efforts.

With its combination of performance, security, and energy efficiency, the NEC N8406-022 stands out as a reliable networking solution suitable for a wide range of enterprises looking to enhance their connectivity and operational efficiency. Whether deployed in data centers or as part of a corporate network, this device is built to meet the evolving demands of today’s digital landscape.
