Methods of Managing the Switch
Hitachi’s HiSpeed switch can be managed using the following:
❒ Serial connection on the console port
❒ Telnet session over a TCP/IP network
❒ SNMP using HiView’s Graphical User Interface (GUI)
CLI (Command Line Interface)
Hitachi employes a command line interface (CLI) application for configuring the
HiSpeed switch. The CLI can be accessed from:
❒ Console Port
❒ Telnet session
Using the Console Port
Connect a terminal to the HiSpeed switch using a null-modem RS-232 serial
cable. A DOS/Windows or Unix workstation running in terminal emulation mode
can also be used. The console port on the switch is configured as DCE, which
requires the use of a null-modem cable. Because the connection is a male DB9
interface, your cable should be a female DB9 connector on the other end.
