Command Line Interface To access the switch through a Telnet session, you must first set the IP address for the switch, and set the default gateway if you are managing the switch from a different IP subnet. For example: Console(config)#interface vlan 1 Console(config-if)#ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.255.0 Console(config-if)#exit Console(config)#ip default-gateway 10.1.0.254 If your corporate network is connected to another network outside your office or to the Internet, you need to apply for a registered IP address. However, if you are attached to an isolated network, then you can use any IP address that matches the network segment to which you are attached. After you configure the switch with an IP address, you can open a Telnet session by performing these steps: 1. From the remote host, enter the Telnet command and the IP address of the device you want to access. 2. At the prompt, enter the user name and system password. The CLI will display the "Console#" prompt for the administrator to show that you are using privileged access mode (i.e., Privileged Exec), or "Console" for the guest to show that you are using normal access mode (i.e., Normal Exec). 3. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks. 4. When finished, exit the session with the "quit" or "exit" command. After entering the Telnet command, the login screen displays: Username: admin Password: CLI session with the PC Blade Switch is opened. To end the CLI session, enter [Exit]. Console# . You can open up to four sessions to the device via Telnet. 1-2 www.hp.com CLI Reference Guide
