z Correctly configure the IP address of a VLAN interface on a Switch (using the ip
address command in VLAN interface view).
z Add the port (that connects to a terminal) to this VLAN (using port command in
VLAN view).
z If the terminal and the interface through which the terminal connects to the Switch
locate in the same LAN, configure the IP address in the same segment as that of
the terminal, otherwise, the terminal and the Switch must be reachable between
each other.
2) Log in through the management Ethernet interface
z Correctly configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface on the
Switch (using the ip address command in M-ethernet0/0/0 interface view).
z If the terminal and the management Ethernet interface of the Switch locate in the
same LAN, configure the IP address in the same segment as that of the terminal,
otherwise, the terminal and the Switch must be reachable between each other.
Log in to the Switch through Telnet and perform the following configuration.
Step 1: Authenticate the Telnet user via the Console port before the user logs in by
Telnet.
Note:
By default, the password is required for authenticating the Telnet user to log in the
switch. If a user logs in via the Telnet without password, he will see the prompt “Login

2.2.2 Telneting a Switch through another Switch
After a user has logged into a switch, he or she can configure another switch through
the switch via Telnet. The local switch serves as Telnet client and the peer switch
serves as Telnet server. If the ports connecting these two switches are in a same local
network, their IP addresses must be configured in the same network segment.
Otherwise, the two switches must establish a route that can reach each other.
As shown in the figure below, after you telnet to a switch, you can run telnet command
to log in and configure another switch.

Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 Command Line Interface
Chapter 3 Command Line Interface
3.1 Command Line Interface
Quidway series Switches provide a series of configuration commands and command
line interfaces for configuring and managing the switch. The command line interface
has the following characteristics:
z Local configuration via the Console port.
z Local or remote configuration via Telnet or SSH.
z Remote configuration through a dial-up Modem to log in the switch.
z Hierarchy command protection to avoid the unauthorized users accessing switch.
z Enter a “?” to get immediate online help.
z Provide network testing commands, such as Tracert and Ping, to fast troubleshoot
the network.
z Provide various detailed debugging information to help with network
troubleshooting.
z Log in and manage other switch directly, using the Telnet command.
z Provide FTP service for the users to upload and download files.
z Provide the function similar to Doskey to execute a history command.
z The command line interpreter searches for target not fully matching the keywords.
It is ok for you to key in the whole keyword or part of it, as long as it is unique and
not ambiguous.
3.2 Command Line View
Quidway series Switches provide hierarchy protection for the command lines to avoid
unauthorized user accessing illegally.
Commands are classified into four levels, namely visit level, monitoring level, system
level and management level. They are introduced as follows:
z Visit level: Commands of this level involve command of network diagnosis tool
(such as ping and tracert), command of switch between different language
environments of user interface (language-mode) and telnet command etc. The
operation of saving configuration file is not allowed on this level of commands.
z Monitoring level: Commands of this level, including the display command and the
debugging command, are used to system maintenance, service fault diagnosis,
etc. The operation of saving configuration file is not allowed on this level of
commands.
z System level: Service configuration commands, including routing command and
commands on each network layer, are used to provide direct network service to
the user.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
3-1
Operation Manual - Getting Started
Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 3 Command Line Interface
z Management level: They are commands that influence basis operation of the
system and system support module, which plays a support role on service.
Commands of this level involve file system commands, FTP commands, TFTP
commands, user management commands, and level setting commands.
At the same time, login users are classified into four levels that correspond to the four
command levels respectively. After users of different levels log in, they can only use
commands at the levels that are equal to or lower than its own level.
In order to prevent unauthorized users from illegal login, user will be identified when
switching from a lower level to a higher level with super [ level ] command. User ID
authentication is performed when users at lower level switch to users at higher level. In
other words, user password of the higher level is needed (Suppose the user has set the
super password [ level level ] { simple | cipher } password.) For the sake of
confidentiality, on the screen the user cannot see the password that he entered. Only
when correct password is input for three times, can the user switch to the higher level.
Otherwise, the original user level will remain unchanged.
Different command views are implemented according to different requirements. They
are related to one another. For example, after logging in the switch, you will enter user
view, in which you can only use some basic functions such as displaying the running
state and statistics information. In user view, key in system-view to enter system view,
in which you can key in different configuration commands and enter the corresponding
views.
The command line provides the following views:
z User view
z System view
z Ethernet Port view
z VLAN view
z VLAN interface view
z LoopBack interface view
z Local-user view
z User interface view
z FTP Client view
z SFTP Client view
z MST region view

Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 4 User Interface Configuration
Chapter 4 User Interface Configuration
4.1 User Interface Overview
User interface configuration is another way provided by the switch to configure and
manage the port data.
S6500 Series Switches support the following configuration methods:
z Local configuration via the Console port
z Local and remote configuration through Telnet or SSH on Ethernet port
z Remote configuration through dial with modem via the Console port.
According to the above-mentioned configuration methods, there are two types of user
interfaces:
z AUX user interface
AUX user interface is used to log in the switch via the Console port. A switch can only
have one AUX user interface.
z VTY user interface
VTY user interface is used to telnet the switch. A switch can have up to five VTY user
interface.
Note:
For Quidway series Switches, AUX port and Console port are the same one. There is
only the type of AUX user interface.
User interface is numbered in the following two ways: absolute number and relative
number.
1) Absolute number, following the rules below.
z AUX user interface is numbered as the first interface designated as user interface
0.
z VTY is numbered after AUX user interface. The absolute number of the first VTY is
incremented by 1 than the AUX user interface number.
2) Relative number, represented by “+ number” assigned to each type of user
interface. It follows the rules below:
z Number of AUX user interface: AUX 0.
z Number of VTY: The first VTY interface is designated as VTY 0, the second one is
designated as VTY 1, and so on.
