Configuring and Managing the Switch
CHAPTER 2
Using the Console Manager
The Console Manager provides an out-of-band (not on the network)
connection to the switch. Use the Console Manager to
• assign an IP configuration to the switch.
• configure the ports.
• monitor network performance.
• create VLANs.
Entering commands
To enter commands, type the command name followed by any
parameters and press E. For example, typing
sys-stat E
at the command prompt displays basic system status information.
Items in angle brackets mean you need to enter a specific value. For
example,
<IPaddress> represents an IP address in dotted decimal
notation (such as 123.1.1.7).
Items in { } and separated by | represent alternatives for an
argument. For example,
get-comm {read|write|*}
means you can type one of the following
get-comm read
get-comm write
get-comm *
If you enter a command incorrectly, a message indicates the type of
error. For example, typing a nonexistent command gives the message:
SYS_console> pin
command <pin> not found
Entering an existing command with an incorrect number of
parameters displays this message:
SYS_console> ping
