ExtremeXOS Switch Management Overview
This chapter describes how to use the operating system to manage the switch. It also
provides details on how to perform the following various basic switch functions:
- Access the command line interface (CLI) by connecting a terminal (or
workstation with terminal-emulation software) to the console port.
- Access the switch remotely using TCP/IP through one of the switch
ports, or through the dedicated 10/100 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Ethernet
management port. Remote access includes:
- Telnet using the CLI interface
- Secure Shell (SSH2) using the CLI interface
- SNMP access using Ridgeline™ or another SNMP
manager
- Download software updates and upgrades. For more information, see
