Configuring the Switch Module
The Layer 2/3 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet switches module can be configured using two
methods. You may configure it:

Through the web-based management utility
•
Directly through a command line (using a telnet interface or a serial console)

access the switch directly, use the command line.
Note that any port may be configured as up (active) or down (inactive). All ports are
active by default.
