Using the Command Line Interface
Accessing the CLI
When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct
connection to the server’s console port, or via a Telnet connection, the
switch can be managed by entering command keywords and par ameters at
the prompt. Using the switch's command-line interface (CLI) is very
similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.
Console Connection
To access the switch through the console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. The default
user names are “admin” and “guest” with corresponding passwords of
“admin” and “guest.”
• When the administrator user name and password is entered, th e CLI
displays the “Console#” prompt and enters privileged access mode
(i.e., Privileged Exec.)
• When the guest user name and password is entered, the CLI displays
the “Console>” prompt and enters normal access mode (i.e.,Normal
Exec.)
