DGS-1100-10/ME Metro Ethernet Managed Switch CLI Reference Guide

USING THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE

The Switch allows a computer or terminal to perform some basic monitoring and configuration tasks by using the

Command Line Interface (CLI) via TELNET protocol.

NOTE: Switch configuration settings are saved to non-volatile RAM using the save command.

The current configuration will then be retained in the Switch’s NV-RAM, and reloaded when the

Switch is rebooted. If the Switch is rebooted without using the save command, the last

configuration saved to NV-RAM is loaded.

The command line functions are accessed over a Telnet interface. Once an IP address for the Switch has been

set, A Telnet program can be used (in VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch.

After the Switch reboots and you have to logged in, the console looks like this:
