Overview
Introduction
In addition to the command line interface (CLI) and Web-based interface, the ProLiant BL
p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch supports a menu-driven interface that allows you to set up
and control the GbE Interconnect Switches. The menu-driven interface can be accessed either
with an ordinary terminal (or terminal emulator) or over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet
protocol. You can use the menu-driven interface to perform basic network management
functions and to configure the GbE Interconnect Switches for management using an
SNMP-based network management system.
