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.
