1.3 Accessing the CLI
The following procedure assumes you have already assigned IP information and
password to the switch or command switch. You can assign this information to
the switch in the following ways:
• Using the setup program, as described in the release notes
• Manually assigning an IP address and password
To access the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Start up the emulation software (such as ProComm, HyperTerminal, tip,
or minicom) on the management station.
Step 2
If necessary, recongure the terminal-emulation software to match the
switch console port settings (default settings are 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data
bits, and 1 stop bit).
