Chapter 3
Using the Console Interface
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure and manage the BayStack 350 10/100
Autosense Switch using the menu-driven console interface (CI). You can access
the CI menus and screens through the service port located on the switch back
panel. You can also manage the BayStack 350 switch using Bay Networks
Optivity network management software or a generic SNMP-based management
application; however, you must first assign an IP address to the switch, as
described in this chapter. If you have a properly configured BootP server in your
network, the IP address of the BayStack 350 switch will be detected
automatically, so you will not have to configure the IP address.
