Chapter 1 Using the CLI

1.1 Accessing the CLI

You can log on to the switch and access the CLI by logging on to the switch remotely by a Telnet or
SSH connection through an Ethernet port.

1.1.1. Logon by Telnet

To log on to the switch by a Telnet connection, please take the following steps:
1. Click Start and type in cmd in the Search programs and files window and press the Enter
button.

1.1.2. Logon by SSH

To log on by SSH, a Putty client software is recommended. There are two authentication modes to
set up an SSH connection:
Password Authentication Mode: It requires username and password, which are both admin by default.
Key Authentication Mode: It requires a public key for the switch and a private key for the SSH client software. You can generate the public key and the private key through Putty Key Generator.
Note:
Before SSH login, please follow the steps shown in Figure 1-4 to enable the SSH function through Telnet connection.

Page 16
2. Click the Open button in the above figure to log on to the switch. Enter the login user name
and password to log on the switch, and then enter enable to enter Privileged EXEC Mode, so
you can continue to configure the switch.
Figure 1-7 Log on the Switch
Key Authentication Mode
1. Select the key type and key length, and generate SSH key.
Figure 1-8 Generate SSH Key
Note:
1. The key length is in the range of 512 to 3072 bits.
2. During the key generation, randomly moving the mouse quickly can accelerate the key generation.

Page 17
2. After the key is successfully generated, please save the public key and private key to a TFTP
server.
Figure 1-9 Save the Generated Key
3. Log on to the switch by Telnet and download the public key file from the TFTP server to the
switch, as the following figure shows:
Figure 1-10 Download the Public Key
7
Page 18
Note:
1. The key type should accord with the type of the key file.
2. The SSH key downloading can not be interrupted.
4. After the public key is downloaded, please log on to the interface of PuTTY and enter the IP
address for login.
Figure 1-11 SSH Connection Config

Page 19
5. Click Browse to download the private key file to SSH client software and click Open.
Figure 1-12 Download the Private Key
6. After successful authentication, please enter the login user name. If you log on to the switch
without entering password, it indicates that the key has been successfully downloaded.
Figure 1-13 Log on the Switch

1.2 CLI Command Modes

The CLI is divided into different command modes: User EXEC Mode, Privileged EXEC Mode,
Global Configuration Mode, Interface Configuration Mode and VLAN Configuration Mode.
Interface Configuration Mode can also be divided into Interface fastEthernet, Interface

Note:
1. The user is automatically in User EXEC Mode after the connection between the PC and the
switch is established by a telnet connection.
2. Each command mode has its own set of specific commands. To configure some commands,
you should access the corresponding command mode firstly.
Global Configuration Mode: In this mode, global commands are provided, such as the
Spanning Tree, Schedule Mode and so on.
Interface Configuration Mode: In this mode, users can configure one or several ports,
different ports corresponds to different commands
a). Interface fastEthernet/gigabitEthernet: Configure parameters for a Fast/Gigabit
Ethernet port, such as Duplex-mode, flow control status.
b). Interface range fastEthernet/gigabitEthernet: The commands contained are the
same as that of the Interface fastEthernet/gigabitEthernet. Configure parameters for
several Ethernet ports.
c). Interface link-aggregation: Configure parameters for a link-aggregation, such as
d). Interface range link-aggregation: Configure parameters for multi-trunks.
e). Interface vlan: Configure parameters for the vlan-port.
broadcast storm.

1.3 Security Levels

This switch’s security is divided into two levels: User level and Admin level.
User level only allows users to do some simple operations in User EXEC Mode; Admin level
allows you to monitor, configure and manage the switch in Privileged EXEC Mode, Global
Configuration Mode, Interface Configuration Mode and VLAN Configuration Mode.
Users get the privilege to the User level once logging in by Telnet. However, Guest users are
restricted to access the CLI.
Users can enter Privileged EXEC mode from User EXEC mode by using the enable command. In
default case, no password is needed. In Global Configuration Mode, you can configure password
for Admin level by enable password command. Once password is configured, you are required to
enter it to access Privileged EXEC mode.

1.4 Conventions

1.4.1 Format Conventions

The following conventions are used in this Guide:
Items in square brackets [ ] are optional
Items in braces { } are required
Alternative items are grouped in braces and separated by vertical bars. For example: speed
{10 | 100 | 1000 }
Bold indicates an unalterable keyword. For example: show logging
Normal Font indicates a constant (several options are enumerated and only one can be
selected). For example: mode {dynamic | static | permanent}
Italic Font indicates a variable (an actual value must be assigned). For example: bridge
aging-time aging-time
12
Page 23

1.4.2 Special Characters

You should pay attentions to the description below if the variable is a character string:
These six characters ” < > , \ & can not be input.
If a blank is contained in a character string, single or double quotation marks should be used,
for example ’hello world’, ”hello world”, and the words in the quotation marks will be identified
as a string. Otherwise, the words will be identified as several strings.

1.4.3 Parameter Format

Some parameters must be entered in special formats which are shown as follows:
MAC address must be enter in the format of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
One or several values can be typed for a port-list or a vlan-list using comma to separate. Use
a hyphen to designate a range of values, for instance, 1,3-5,7 indicates choosing 1,3,4,5,7.
