4.1 Using the Command-Line Interface

4.1.1 Accessing the CLI

When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct connection to
the switch’s console port, or through a Telnetconnection, the switch can be managed
by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the switch's
command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX
system.

4.1.1.1 Console Connection

To access the switch throughthe console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, type 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, the
CLI displays the Console# prompt and enters privileged access mode (Privileged
Exec). But when the guest user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the
Console> prompt and enters normal access mode (Normal Exec).
2. Type the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
3. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen displays:
