CLI
The SS3GR24i/SS3GR48i supports a console management interface that
allows the user to connect to the switch’s management agent via a serial port
and a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program. The
console can also be used over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol.
The console program can be used to configure the switch to use an SNMP-
based network management software over the network.
This chapter describes how to use the console interface to access the switch,
change its settings, and monitor its operation.
Connecting to the Switch
The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a VT100-compatible
terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal emulator program (e.g.,
the HyperTerminal program included with the Windows operating system)
using an RS-232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set
to:
• VT-100 compatible
• 9,600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• One stop bit
• No flow control
You can also access the same functions over a Telnet interface. Once you have
set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet program (in VT-100
compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. All of the screens
are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet
interface.
