Getting started with the CLI

As a supplementary to the web interface, the CLI provides some configuration commands to facilitate your

through the web interface, you can connect the console port of the device to a PC, and reconfigure the IP
address of VLAN-interface 1 at the CLI.
This section describes using the CLI to manage the device.

Setting up the configuration environment

To set up the configuration environment, connect a terminal (a PC in this example) to the console port on the
switch with a console cable.
A console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one end for connecting to
the console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other end for connecting to the serial port
on the console terminal.
