xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Manual

Introduction

The DES-3800 series is a member of the D-Link xStack switch family. xStack is a complete family of
stackable devices that ranges from edge 10/100Mbps switches to core Gigabit switches. xStack provides
unsurpassed performance, fault tolerance, scalable flexibility, robust security, standard-based
interoperability and an impressive support for 10Gigabit technology to future-proof departmental and
enterprise network deployments with an easy migration path.
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 Manual.
Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch's serial port's default settings are as follows:
• 9600 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 o refresh the console screen.
