Chapter 2
Setting Up Your Laptop or PC Monitor
You need a laptop or PC to make a serial line connection to the
switch to complete initial switch setup. Table 2-1 lists the settings
required for the laptop or PC monitor to communicate with the
switch.
Managing the Avaya Multiservice Switch using Telnet
There are several ways to manage the Avaya Multiservice switch. In
addition to managing the switch via WEB agent, SNMP and serial
console CLI commands, the switch provides telnet server capability.
Through this Telnet session, an administrator can manage the
switch via CLI commands.
Setting up an
Interface
Before you can establish a Telnet session you must configure an IP
interface to allow management of the switch. From the IP Interfaces
Web page or via CLI command, create an IP Interface and configure
the IP Routing option for either Routing/Mgmt or Mgmt. For more
information on setting up an IP Interface on the switch, please refer
to the Creating an IP Interface section in Chapter 9, Configuring IP Rout-
ing, in the Avaya Multiservice Switch P550/P880/P882 Switch User Guide.
Establishing a
Telnet Session
Once an IP Interface has been setup and configured to allow
management traffic, you are now ready to open a telnet session to
the switch. To do this you will need to use one of the commercially
available telnet clients. Launch the telnet client application and
open a telnet session with the IP address of the management
interface. You will be presented with the switch’s login prompt.
If the TCP port for Telnet requests is set to a port number other than
23, you must specify the TCP port number in addition to the IP
address or host name to start a Telnet session. For example, if you
change the TCP port from 23 to 9998 on switch 192.168.0.126,
enter telnet 192.168.0.126 9998 to start a Telnet session. For
information on how to change the TCP port for Telnet requests, see
Changing the TCP Ports for HTTP and Telnet (page 43).
