Starting the CLI

PowerConnect 3324/3348 can be managed over a direct connection to the console port or 
via a Telnet connection. PowerConnect 3324/3348 is managed by typing command 
keywords and parameters at the command prompt. Using the CLI is similar to entering 
commands on a UNIX system.

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

For more information about configuring an initial IP Address, see "

".

Console Connection

To start the CLI:

1

Start the device and wait until the startup prompt 

Console>

 is displayed. 

2

Configure the device and enter the necessary commands to complete the required 
tasks. 

3

When finished, exit the session by entering 

quit

 or 

exit

.

To log off the current user and log on a new user, type the login command in the Privileged 
EXEC command mode. 

 NOTE: Telnet sessions are automatically disconnected after remaining idle for a user-defined 

time period.
