Chapter 1
Using the Command
Line Interface
The DGS-3620 Layer 3 stackable Gigabit Ethernet switch series are members of the D-Link
xStack® family. Ranging from 10/100/1000Mbps edge switches to core gigabit switches, the
xStack
®
switch family has been future-proof designed to provide a stacking architecture with fault
tolerance, flexibility, port density, robust security and maximum throughput with a user-friendly
management interface for the networking professional.
The Switch can be managed through the Switch’s serial port, Telnet, SNMP or the Web-based
management agent. The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to configure and manage the
Switch via the serial port or Telnet interfaces.
This manual provides a reference for all of the commands contained in the CLI. Every command
will be introduced in terms of purpose, format, description, parameters, and examples.
Configuration and management of the Switch via the Web-based management agent are
discussed in the Web UI Reference Guide. For detailed information on installing hardware please
also refer to the Harware Installation Guide.
1-1 Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port
The Switch’s serial port’s default settings are as follows:
• 115200 baud
• no parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
A computer running a terminal emulation program capable of emulating a VT-100 terminal and a
serial port configured as above is then connected to the Switch’s serial port via an RJ-45 to RS-
232 DB-9 convertor cable.
With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be
visible.
