SLIP mode
In SLIP mode, commands are entered via a TELNET session between an IP
workstation and the 6416SW.
If your workstation supports TFTP, it can also be used as a TFTP server to
perform DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD operations between your workstation
and the ONcore. (See “Uploading and Downloading Operations” on
page 6-5.)
Note: If no activity takes place for a period of 20 minutes, the console is
automatically returned to normal mode.
This method requires an initial connection in Normal mode to set up the IP
addresses and change the port protocol.
See “Setting Up a Configuration Console in SLIP Mode” on page 4-8 for
instructions on connecting a configuration console to the 6416SW in SLIP
mode.
After the switch has been initially configured, it is also possible to configure and manage
the switch:
From a remote TELNET sessions, as described in “TELNET Sessions Via a
Remote Switch” on page 4-12.
Using an SNMP management application, as described in Chapter 6, “Network and
Switch Management” on page 6-1.
