Configuring the Switch Module
The SSE-G3748/D/R/DR-SMIS Ethernet switch module can be configured using two methods.
You may configure it:
•
Through the web-based management utility
•
Directly through a command line interface (using a SSH or a telnet or a serial console)
The management utility accesses the switch module through any web browser. To access
