1 1 I NTRODUCTION The Switch c an be ma naged through the Switch’s serial port, Telnet, or the Web-based management agent. The Comm and Line Interface (CLI) can be used to confi gure and ma nage the Switc h via the seri al port or Te lnet interface s.
2 Figure 1-2. Boot Screen The Swit ch’s MAC address can also be found in the Web ma nagement program on t he Switch Inform ation (Basic Settings) window on the Configuration menu. The IP address for the switch must be set before it can be mana ged with the Web-based manage r.
3 In the above exam ple, the Switch was assi gned an IP address of 10.53.13.144/8 wit h a subnet ma sk of 255.0.0.0. The system message Success indicates that the comm and was executed successfully.
4 2 U SING THE C ONSOLE CLI The DES-3550 supports a console m anagement interface that allows t he user to connect to the switch’s ma nagement age nt via a serial port and a t erminal or a computer runni ng a termi nal emula tion program. The console can also be used over the network using the TCP/ IP Telnet protocol.

An important point after buying a device D-Link DES-3550 (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought D-Link DES-3550 yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data D-Link DES-3550 - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, D-Link DES-3550 you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get D-Link DES-3550 will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of D-Link DES-3550, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime D-Link DES-3550.
However, one of the most important roles played by the user manual is to help in solving problems with D-Link DES-3550. Almost always you will find there Troubleshooting, which are the most frequently occurring failures and malfunctions of the device D-Link DES-3550 along with tips on how to solve them. Even if you fail to solve the problem, the manual will show you a further procedure – contact to the customer service center or the nearest service center
