Management

The switch supports connections using the RJ45 serial console port, the Ethernet management port, or the Micro-USB Type B port to view and manage the switch configuration. You can also connect to the switch using Bluetooth. For more information on switch connection methods, see Manage Your Switch. For switch connection details, see Connect to a Management Console.

After connecting to your switch, it can be flexibly configured and operated though the cloud, the network, or the command-line interface (CLI), either remotely or locally. You can access management functions on the switch using ExtremeCloud™ IQ or ExtremeCloud IQ Site Engine, or manually through a web-based GUI or generic command-line interface (CLI) client. For more information on switch configuration and operation methods, see Manage Your Switch.

Note

The CLI is limited for 4120 Series and 4220 Series devices. See the 4000 Series User Guide for your version of Switch Engine for detailed information on the available commands.

For more information about switch configuration and operation methods, see Manage Your Switch.

Note

There is also a Type A USB 2.0 port labeled USB on the front panel that can interface with USB storage devices.
