Chapter 1. Introduction
This guide describes how to configure and manage an IBM TotalStorage Storage Switch
2006 Model L10 using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI provides a
command-based interface that enables you to configure and display switch settings.
In addition to the CLI, the Web Manager interface provides an intuitive graphical user
interface that enables you to quickly check switch status or configure switch settings in a
visual environment. For information on how to use Web Manager interface, see the
User’s Guide
Getting started
The CLI enables you to monitor and change system and port configurations, configure
zoning, load balancing, trunking, and event reporting parameters, and download and
install firmware.
Connecting through a serial interface
Before using the CLI, ensure the switch’s Ethernet network parameter settings are
correct for the network configuration. The switch ships with the following default IP
settings:
• IP Address: 192.168.1.129
.
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1
If these settings need to be adjusted to open the CLI, connect to the switch through the
serial interface using the instructions below.
Once the proper network configuration settings are entered, the switch can be managed
over a network interface using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal®.
The switch may also be accessed through the serial interface to manage the switch from
a local computer.
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
port parameters above. (Suggested name: Switch)
b. Use the tip command to establish a connection through the created alias, for
example tip switch.
Logging in and out
The CLI does not require login if only viewing basic switch information. Anyone can
monitor basic switch information by pressing E
appears indicating that an invalid password was entered and a minimal CLI menu is
displayed. From this menu, you can view basic switch settings, including switch and port
information, zoning information, and load balancing information. However, for monitoring
most switch information or configuring any switch or port settings, you must log in to the
switch.
To log in to the CLI:
1. Type li and press E
2. Type the password at the prompt and press E
‘password’.)
To log out of the CLI:

2. Type the password at the prompt and press E
Menu navigation
The flexibility in the CLI menus and commands facilitates quick monitoring and
configuring. Users can jump several menus ahead or back, select options, and issue
commands from the command prompt.

Note: Up to 10 concurrent telnet sessions may access the switch.
Once logged in to the CLI, the Root menu (main menu) is displayed. The CLI
incorporates a menu-based interface featuring a list of menus and commands. Each
menu offers a selection of commands in a numbered list. Commands are entered at the
command prompt. The command prompt also indicates the current menu level (for
example, root/config>).
To enter a CLI command:
• Type the actual command text. For example, to select the Configuration menu from the
Root menu, type config and press E
NTER.
–or–
• Type the number of the command. Using the previous example, to select the
Configuration menu from the Root menu, type 1 and press E
NTER.
–or–
• Type the first few letters of the command. Either two or more letters are required to
make the command unique. Using the original example, to select the Configuration
menu from the Root menu, type co and press E
NTER.
From the Root menu, you can also navigate to a specific command in a sub-menu by
entering the first few letters of the sub menu, a space, and then the first few letters of
the command. For example, to view system information under the Show sub-menu:
