30 CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT
Figure 27 CLI Management using the Console Port
Figure 28 CLI Management over the Network
Refer to “Setting Up Command Line Interface Management” on page 41.
There are two main views in the CLI:
■ User View
This view is shown when you first connect to the switch and shows basic
information about operation and statistics. The prompt for user view is
<4210>.
■ System View
This view enables you to configure the system parameters. To display this view,
from user view enter system-view. The prompt for system view is [4210].
Command Line Interface
Management using SSH
The Switch 4210 supports Secure Shell version 2.0 (SSHv2.0), allowing secure
access to the Command Line Interface of the switch.
If you use SSH to administer your switch and the network traffic is intercepted, no
passwords or configuration information will be visible in the data. To securely
administer the switch using the Command Line Interface you need a third party
SSH client.
Web Interface
Management
Each switch has an internal set of web pages that allow you to manage the switch
using a Web browser remotely over an IP network (see Figure 29).
