D-Link DGS-3700-12 [7/338] Accessing the switch via the serial port

DGS-3312SR Layer 3 Gigabit Switch

INTRODUCTION

The switch can be managed through the switch’s serial port, Telnet, 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. Configuration and management of the switch

via the Web-based management agent is discussed in the User’s Guide.

Accessing the Switch via the Serial Port

The switch’s serial port’s default settings are as follows:

• 9600 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 RS-232 DB-9 cable.

With the serial port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible. If this screen does

not appear, try pressing Ctrl+r to refresh the console screen.
