Configuration using Web Based Management and
Command Line Interface
To make the best possible use of the technical possibilities of the IE switches, you can adapt
the configuration of the device to the concrete situation in which it is used. There are two
ways of configuring an IE switch:
● With the Command Line Interface, you can reach the IE switches over Telnet (assuming
there is an Ethernet connection) or over the serial interface (IE Switch X-400 only).
● Web Based Management accesses the configuration of an IE switch using a Web
browser. An Ethernet connection to the IE switch is necessary.
Note

CLI over the serial interface (IE Switch X-400 only), TELNET or SSH

certain that all the configuration changes have been saved.
Note
To use SNMP Management, RMON, and traps, you require a network management station.
This does not ship with IE
switches.
