xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch CLI Manual
The xStack DES-6500 layer 3 modular chassis Ethernet switch is a member of the D-Link xStack family. Ranging from
10/100Mbps edge switches to core gigabit switches, the xStack switch family has been future-proof designed to provide a
stacking architecture with fault tolerance, flexibility, port density, robust security and maximum throughput with a user-friendly
management interface for the networking professional.
The Switch can be managed through the Switch's serial port, Telnet, or the Web-based management agent. The Command Line
Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the Switch via the serial port or Telnet interfaces.
This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI. Configuration and management of the switch
via the Web-based management agent is discussed in the User's Guide.
Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch's serial port's default settings are as follows:

115200 baud

no parity

8 data bits

1 stop bit
A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100 terminal and a serial port configured as
above is then connected to the Switch's serial port via an RS-232 DB-9 cable.
With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible. If this screen does
not appear, try pressing Ctrl+r to refresh the console screen.
There is no initial username or password. Just press the Enter key twice to display the CLI input cursor  DES-6500:4#. This is
the command line where all commands are input.
