For a description of how to use the CLI, see “Using the Command Line 
Interface” on page 4-1. For a list of all the CLI commands and detailed 
information on using the CLI, refer to “Command Groups” on page 4-12.

Prior to accessing the switch’s onboard agent via a network connection, 
you must first configure it with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and default 
gateway using a console connection, DHCP or BOOTP protocol.

The IP address for this switch is obtained via DHCP by default. To 
manually configure this address or enable dynamic address assignment via 
DHCP or BOOTP, see “Setting an IP Address” on page 2-6. 

Note: This switch supports four concurrent Telnet/SSH sessions.

After configuring the switch’s IP parameters, you can access the onboard 
configuration program from anywhere within the attached network. The 
onboard configuration program can be accessed using Telnet from any 
computer attached to the network. The switch can also be managed by any 
computer using a web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0 or above, or 
Netscape Navigator 6.2 or above), or from a network computer using 
SNMP network management software.

Note: The onboard program only provides access to basic configuration 

functions. To access the full range of SNMP management 
functions, you must use SNMP-based network management 
software.
