Using The Console Cli; Connecting To The Switch - D-Link xStackTM DGS-3300 User Manual

xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch CLI Manual
The xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series supports a console management interface that allows the user to connect to the Switch's
management agent via a serial port and a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program. The console can also be
used over the network using the TCP/IP Telnet protocol. The console program can be used to configure the Switch to use an
SNMP-based network management software over the network.
This chapter describes how to use the console interface to access the Switch, change its settings, and monitor its operation.

Connecting to the Switch

The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary
terminal emulator program (e.g., the HyperTerminal program included with the Windows operating system) using an RS-232C
serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set to:
•
VT-100 compatible
•
115200 baud
•
8 data bits
•
No parity
•
One stop bit
•
No flow control
The same functions can be accessed over a Telnet interface. Once an IP address has been set for your Switch, a Telnet program
(in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) can be used to access and control the Switch. All of the screens are identical, whether
accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface.
After the Switch reboots and the user has logged in, the console looks like this:
Note: Switch configuration settings are saved to non-volatile RAM using
the save command. The current configuration will then be retained in the
Switch's NV-RAM, and reloaded when the Switch is rebooted. If the
Switch is rebooted without using the save command, the last configuration
saved to NV-RAM will be loaded.
