There are two main views in the CLI:
User View
■
This view is shown when you first connect to the switch and shows
basic information about operation and statistics. The prompt for user
view is <4500G>.

System View

■
This view enables you to configure the system parameters. To display
this view, from user view enter system-view. The prompt for system
view is [4500G].
The Switch 4500G supports Secure Shell version 2.0 (SSHv2.0), allowing
secure access to the Command Line Interface of the switch.
If you use SSH to administer your switch and the network traffic is
intercepted, no passwords or configuration information will be visible in the
data. To securely administer the switch using the Command Line Interface
you need a third party SSH client.
Each switch has an internal set of web pages that allow you to manage the
switch using a Web browser remotely over an IP network (see Figure 22).
