Command line interface
Introduction
The 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch is ready to perform basic switching functions right out of the box. Some of the more
advanced features, however, require some administrative configuration before they can be used effectively.
The extensive switching software included in the switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring
the switch:
Built-in, text-based command line interfaces (AOS CLI and ISCLI) for access via a local terminal or remote
Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH) session
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for access through network management software
such as NEC WebSAM NetvisorPro
A browser-based management interface for interactive network access through the Web browser
The command line interface is the most direct method for collecting switch information and performing switch
configuration. Using a basic terminal, you can view information and statistics about the switch, and perform any
necessary configuration.
This guide describes how to use and configure on the Layer2 switch mode of the switch. For the information to
configure on the SmartPanel mode, see the SmartPanel Referece Guide.
This chapter explains how to access the AOS CLI to the switch.
