Methods of Managing a Switch 37 There are two main views in the CLI: ■ User View This view is shown when you first connect to the switch and shows basic information about operation and statistics. The prompt for user view is . ■ System View This view enables you to configure the system parameters. To display this view, from user view enter system-view. The prompt for system view is [4500G]. Command Line Interface Management using SSH The Switch 4500G supports Secure Shell version 2.0 (SSHv2.0), allowing secure access to the Command Line Interface of the switch. If you use SSH to administer your switch and the network traffic is intercepted, no passwords or configuration information will be visible in the data. To securely administer the switch using the Command Line Interface you need a third party SSH client. Web Interface Each switch has an internal set of web pages that allow you to manage the Management switch using a Web browser remotely over an IP network (see Figure 22).
