CLI (Command Line Interface)
Overview
This chapter describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Using the Command Line Interface
When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct connection to the server’s console port,
or via a Telnet connection, the switch can be managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the
prompt. Using the switch's command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering commands on a UNIX
system.
Console Connection
To access the switch through the console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password.
The default user name is “Admin” and the password is “1988”)
When the administrator user name and password is entered, the CLI displays the “Console#”
prompt and enters privileged access mode (i.e., Privileged Exec). But when the guest user name and
password is entered, the CLI displays the “Console>” prompt and enters normal access mode
(i.e., Normal Exec).
2. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
3. When finished, exit the session with the “quit” or “exit” command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen displays:

CLI session with the Intelligent Fast Ethernet PoE Switch is
opened.
To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].

Telnet Connection
Telnet operates over the IP transport protocol. In this environment, your management station and any network
device you want to manage over the network must have a valid IP address. Valid IP addresses consist of four
numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Each address consists of a network portion and host portion. For
example, the IP address assigned to this switch, 10.1.0.1, consists of a network portion (10.1.0) and a host
portion (1).
To access the switch through a Telnet session, you must first set the IP address for the switch, and set the
default gateway if you are managing the switch from a different IP subnet.
For example,
When ES3526V 24 Port Fast Ethernet switches are stacked together, you must
connect to the RS-232 port on the Master unit to be able to access the CLI.
The IP address for this switch is unassigned by default.
