Initial Configuration Using the Console
Initial Configuration
The Configuration command-language interface (CLI) is accessed by using a VT-100 (or
compatible terminal) to the console port of the switch. The terminal port parameters are fixed at:
9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and without flow control. This provides a convenient
method for initial setup of the switch. System parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory.
They need to be set up only during the initial setup or when the system has been reset to the
factory defaults.
The following keys are used to access the menu:
Enter Ends an input line
Backspace Clears last character in input mode
Tab Auto-Completes a command
A screen similar to the following example appears on the Console Port at power up or reset:
