Starting the CLI

Created by Taylan Esen12 Feb , 2019

The switch can be managed over a direct connection to the switch console port, or via a Telnet connection. The switch is managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the prompt. Using the switch CLI commands is similar to entering commands on a UNIX system.

If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure the device has an IP address defined, corresponding management access is granted, and the workstation used to access the device is connected to the device prior to using CLI commands.

Accessing the CLI from the Console Line

  1. Start the device and wait until the startup procedure is complete. The User Exec mode is entered, and the prompt “console>” is displayed.
  2. Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks.
  3. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit

Accessing the CLI from Telnet

  1. Enter telnet and the IP address of the device. A User Name prompt is displayed.
  2. Enter the User Name and Password. You are in the Privileged Exec mode.
  3. Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required tasks.
  4. When finished, exit the session with the quit or exit command.

When another user is required to log onto the system, the login command is entered in the Privileged EXEC command mode,. This effectively logs off the current user and logs on the new user.
