Cisco ME 3600X-24CX Switch Getting Started Guide
OL-27508-01
Managing the Switch through the CLI
Note If you need to rerun the initial configuration dialog, see the “Resetting the Switch to the Default
Settings” section on page 12.
Managing the Switch through the CLI
After you install the switch in your network, you can enter Cisco IOS commands and parameters through
the CLI. Access the CLI either by connecting your PC directly to the switch console port or through a
Telnet session from a remote PC or workstation.
Other Management Options
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management Solution
(SNMS) and HP OpenView to configure and manage the switch. You also can manage it from an
SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.
The Cisco IE2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management device that works with
embedded CNS agents in the switch software. You can use IE2100 to automate initial configurations and
configuration updates on the switch.
See the “Accessing Help Online” section on page 12 for a list of supporting documentation.
Installing the Switch
