Configuration Using the Command Line Interface
(CLI)
Overview
The ES8508 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
•
Out-band management means that you configure the ES8508 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES8508 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES8508.
•
In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES8508 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES8508 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI.
If you are planning on using in-band management, you need to program the ES8508 IP address to meet your
network requirements. The easiest way to configure the IP address is using a Windows system and PortVision
DX, which is discussed in
If you want to use the web user interface for configuration, see
Page 35.
