3com 3CR17662-91 User Manual

There are two main views in the CLI:

■

This view is shown when you first connect to the Switch and shows 
basic information about operation and statistics. The prompt for user 
view is <S4200G>.

■

This view enables you to configure the system parameters. To display 
this view, from user view enter system-view. The prompt for system 
view is [S4200G].

The Switch 4200G supports Secure Shell version 1.5 (SSHv1.5), allowing 
secure access to the Command Line Interface of the Switch.

If you use SSH to administer your Switch and the network traffic is 
intercepted, no passwords or configuration information will be visible in 
the data. To securely administer the Switch using the Command Line 
Interface you need a third party SSH client.

Each Switch has an internal set of web pages that allow you to manage 
the Switch using a Web browser remotely over an IP network (see 
Figure 9).

Figure 9   Web Interface Management over the Network

Refer to “Setting Up Web Interface Management” on page 48.

You can manage a Switch using any network management workstation 
running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as shown in 
Figure 10. For example, you can use the 3Com Network Director 
software, available from the 3Com website.
