Using Command Line Interface; Accessing The Switch Via The Serial Port - D-Link DGS-3200 SERIES Cli Manual

1 Using Command Line Interface

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. Every command will be introduced in
terms of purpose, format, description, parameters, and examples. Configuration and management of the Switch via
the Web-based management agent are discussed in the User Manual. For detailed information on installing hardware
please also refer to the User Manual.

1-1 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 −
DGS-3200-10:4#. This is the command line where all commands are input.
