HP Moonshot Switch Module CLI Command Reference
Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI by using a direct console connection or by using a telnet or SSH connection from a
remote management host.
For the initial connection, you must use a direct connection to the console port. You cannot access the system
remotely until the system has an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. You can set the network
configuration information manually, or you can configure the system to accept these settings from a BOOTP or
DHCP server on your network. For more information, see “Network Interface Commands” on page 43.
For step-by-step instructions about how to connect to the switch management interface, see the HP Moonshot
Switch Module Administrator’s Guide.
