5-1 

This chapter describes using the Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage the switch. The switch is 

managed through the CLI from a direct connection to the switch console port. 

Using the CLI, network managers enter configuration commands and parameters to configure the 

switch. 

z 

A workstation with terminal emulation software installed, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal. This 

software allows you to communicate with the switch using the console port directly. 

z 

Documentation supplied with the terminal emulation software. 

z 

The console cable (RJ-45) supplied with your switch. 

1)  Connect the workstation to the console port using the console cable as shown in Figure 5-1.

2)  Open your terminal emulation software and configure the COM port settings to which you have 

connected the cable. The settings must be set to match the default settings for the switch, which 

are: 

z 

38,400 baud (bits per second) 

z 

8 data bits 

z 

no parity 

z 

1 stop bit 

z 

no hardware flow control 

3)  Turn on the switch. The user will be prompted to press the Enter key if the switch successfully 

completes POST (power-on self test). The prompt (such as < Command-Line >) appears after the 

user presses the Enter key.
