Using The Console Cli - D-Link DES-3852 - xStack Switch - Stackable Cli Manual

xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Manual
The Switch supports a console management interface that allows the user to connect to the Switch's management agent via a serial
port and a terminal or a computer running a terminal emulation program. The console can also be used over the network using the
TCP/IP Telnet protocol. The console program can be used to configure the Switch to use an SNMP-based network management
software over the network.
This chapter describes how to use the console interface to access the Switch, change its settings, and monitor its operation.
Note: Switch configuration settings are saved to non-volatile RAM using the save command. The current
configuration will then be retained in the Switch's NV-RAM, and reloaded when the Switch is rebooted. If
the Switch is rebooted without using the save command, the last configuration saved to NV-RAM will be
loaded.
Connecting to the Switch
The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a VT100-compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal
emulator program (e.g., the HyperTerminal program included with the Windows operating system) using an RS-232C serial cable.
Your terminal parameters will need to be set to:
•
VT-100 compatible
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
No parity
•
One stop bit
•
No flow control
You can also access the same functions over a Telnet interface. Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet
program (in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. All of the screens are identical, whether accessed
from the console port or from a Telnet interface.
