addresses.

The initial set up of your Switch is now complete and the Switch is ready 
for you to set up your chosen management method. See “Methods of 
Managing a Switch” on page 32.

If you do not intend to use the command line interface using the console 
port to manage the Switch, you can logout, disconnect the serial cable 
and close the terminal emulator software.

This section describes how you can set up command line interface 
management using a local console port connection or over the network.

User interface configuration is provided by the Switch to configure and 
manage the port data. There are two types of user interfaces:

AUX User Interface—used to log in to your Switch using the console port.

VTY User Interface—used to Telnet to the Switch. The Switch can have 
up to five VTY user interfaces.

To manage a Switch using the command line interface using the local 
console port connection:

1 Ensure you have connected your workstation to the console port correctly 

as described in “Connecting to the Console Port” on page 38.

2 Your Switch is now ready to continue being managed and/or configured 

through the CLI using its console port.

To manage a Switch using the command line interface over a network 
using Telnet:

1 Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as 

described in “Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 32.

2 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your 

management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the 
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.
