Chapter 3
Using the Console Interface
This chapter describes how to configure and manage the BayStack 350 switch
using the menu-driven console interface (CI).
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Accessing the CI menus and screens
• Using the CI menus and screens
• Description of options available from the Main Menu
Accessing the CI Menus and Screens
You can access the CI menus and screens locally through a console terminal,
remotely through a dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a TELNET
session (see “Console/Comm Port” on page 2-10).
You can also manage the BayStack 350 switch using Nortel Networks Optivity
network management software or any generic SNMP-based management
software; however, for the switch management function to become fully
operational, you must supply certain parameters such as the switch IP address or
stack IP address, if configured (see “Initial Setup” on page 2-17).
For information about SNMP, see your network management documentation.
Note:
If you have a properly configured BootP server in your network, it will
detect the IP address; you will not need to configure the IP address.
