APPENDIX B CLI Quick Reference
CONNECTING TO THE CLI
The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be accessed through a network interface using a terminal
emulation program, such as HyperTerminal®, or through the serial interface from a local computer. Refer
to the
Emulex® or InSpeed™ Storage Switch Products’ CLI Reference Guide
for detailed descriptions of
CLI commands and usage.
To connect through a network interface:
Use a network terminal emulation program. For example, if using the telnet command on a Windows
workstation, type telnet
IPaddress at a command prompt.
To connect through a serial interface:
1. Attach one end of the included RS-232 null modem cable to the computer’s DB-9 serial port, and
attach the other end to the switch’s DB-9 serial port.
2. Open a terminal session through a serial terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal®)
with the appropriate serial port (for example, COM1) and the following serial port parameters:
• Bits per second: 19200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
3. If using HyperTerminal, press E
NTER to receive a prompt.
4. If using the tip command on a UNIX workstation, do the following:
a. View the /etc/remote file and create an alias similar to Hardware but with the serial port
parameters above. (Suggested name: Switch)
b. Use the tip command to establish a connection through the created alias, for example
tip switch. (For more information, see the tip command Manual page.)
LOGGING IN AND OUT
The CLI does not require login if only viewing basic system information. However, for viewing detailed
system information or configuring any switch settings, users must log in to the switch.
To log in to the CLI:
Type the password at the prompt and press E
NTER. (The default password is password.)
To log out of the CLI:
Type lo and press E
NTER, or exit the terminal session.
