Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Overview
Overview
The CLI is a text-based command interface for configuring and monitoring the
switch. The CLI gives you access to the switch’s full set of commands while
providing the same password protection that is used in the web browser
interface and the menu interface.
Accessing the CLI
Like the menu interface, the CLI is accessed through the switch console, and,
in the switch’s factory default state, is the default interface when you start a
console session. You can access the console out-of-band by directly
connecting a terminal device to the switch, or in-band by using Telnet either
from a terminal device or through the web browser interface.
Note The serial port on the 2510 switch is an RJ45 port located in the lower left
corner on the front panel of the switch.
Also, if you are using the menu interface, you can access the CLI by selecting
the Command Line (CLI) option in the Main Menu.
Using the CLI
The CLI offers these privilege levels to help protect the switch from unautho-
rized access:
1. Operator
2. Manager
3. Global Configuration
4. Context Configuration
Note CLI commands are not case-sensitive.
