Step 2: Run terminal emulator (such as Terminal on Windows 3X or the Hyper Terminal
on Windows 9X) on the PC. Set the terminal communication parameters as follows: Set
the baud rate to 9600, databit to 8, parity check to none, stopbit to 1, flow control to
none and select the terminal type as VT100.

Step 3: The switch is powered on. Display self-test information of the Ethernet switch
and prompt you to press Enter to show the command line prompt such as <Quidway>.
Step 4: Input a command to configure the Ethernet switch or view the operation state.
Input a “?” for an immediate help. For details of specific commands, refer to the
following chapters.
2.2 Setting up Configuration Environment through Telnet
2.2.1 Connecting a PC to the Switch through Telnet
To connect a PC to the Switch through Telnet, you must configure to meet the following
requirements:

Operation Manual - Getting Started
Quidway S6500 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 Logging in Switch
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
2-3
1) Log in through the Ethernet port
zCorrectly configure the IP address of a VLAN interface on a Switch (using the ip
address command in VLAN interface view).
zAdd the port (that connects to a terminal) to this VLAN (using port command in
VLAN view).
zIf the terminal and the interface through which the terminal connects to the Switch
locate in the same LAN, configure the IP address in the same segment as that of
the terminal, otherwise, the terminal and the Switch must be reachable between
each other.
2) Log in through the management Ethernet interface
zCorrectly configure the IP address of the management Ethernet interface on the
Switch (using the ip address command in M-ethernet0/0/0 interface view).
zIf the terminal and the management Ethernet interface of the Switch locate in the
same LAN, configure the IP address in the same segment as that of the terminal,
otherwise, the terminal and the Switch must be reachable between each other.
Log in to the Switch through Telnet and perform the following configuration.
Step 1: Authenticate the Telnet user via the Console port before the user logs in by
Telnet.
Note:
By default, the password is required for authenticating the Telnet user to log in the
switch. If a user logs in via the Telnet without password, he will see the prompt “Login
password has not been set !”.
<Quidway> system-view
[Quidway] user-interface vty 0
[Quidway-ui-vty0] set authentication password simple xxxx (xxxx is the preset login
password of Telnet user)
Step 2: To set up the configuration environment, connect the Ethernet port of the PC to
that of the switch via the LAN.

Step 3: Run Telnet on the PC and input the IP address of the VLAN connected to the PC
port.
Figure 2-6 Running Telnet
Step 4: The terminal displays “Login authentication” and prompts the user to input the
logon password. After you input the correct password, it displays the command line
prompt (such as <Quidway>). If the prompt “All user interfaces are used, please try
later!” appears, it indicates that too many users are connected to the Ethernet through
the Telnet at this moment. In this case, please reconnect later. At most 5 Telnet users
are allowed to log on to the Quidway series Switches simultaneously.
Step 5: Use the corresponding commands to configure the Ethernet switch or to
monitor the running state. Enter “?” to get the immediate help. For details of specific
commands, refer to the following chapters.
Note:
zWhen configuring the switch via Telnet, do not modify the IP address of it unless
necessary, for the modification might cut the Telnet connection.
zBy default, when a Telnet user passes the password authentication to log on to the
switch, he can access the commands at Level 0.

2.2.2 Telneting a Switch through another Switch
After a user has logged into a switch, he or she can configure another switch through
the switch via Telnet. The local switch serves as Telnet client and the peer switch
serves as Telnet server. If the ports connecting these two switches are in a same local
network, their IP addresses must be configured in the same network segment.
Otherwise, the two switches must establish a route that can reach each other.
As shown in the figure below, after you telnet to a switch, you can run telnet command
to log in and configure another switch.
Telnet Client
PC Telnet Server
Figure 2-7 Providing Telnet Client service
Step 1: Authenticate the Telnet user via the Console port on the Telnet Server (switch)
before login.
Note:
By default, the password is required for authenticating the Telnet user to log in the
switch. If a user logs in via the Telnet without password, he will see the prompt “Login
password has not been set !”.
<Quidway> system-view
[Quidway] user-interface vty 0
[Quidway-ui-vty0] set authentication password simple xxxx (xxxx is the preset login
password of Telnet user)
Step 2: The user logs in the Telnet Client (switch). For the login process, refer to the
section describing “Connecting a PC to the Switch through Telnet”.
Step 3: Perform the following operations on the Telnet Client:
<Quidway> telnet xxxx (xxxx can be the hostname or IP address of the Telnet Server. If
it is the hostname, you need to use the ip host command to specify.)
Step 4: Enter the preset login password and you will see the prompt such <Quidway>. If
the prompt “All user interfaces are used, please try later!” appears, it indicates that too
many users are connected to the switch through the Telnet at this moment. In this case,
please connect later.

state. Enter “?” to get the immediate help. For details of specific commands, refer to the
following chapters.
2.3 Setting up Configuration Environment through a Dial-up
the Modem
Step 1: Authenticate the Modem user via the Console port of the switch before he logs
in the switch through a dial-up Modem.
Note:
By default, the password is required for authenticating the Modem user to log in the
switch. If a user logs in via the Modem without password, he will see an error prompt .

Huawei Technologies Proprietary
3-1
Chapter 3 Command Line Interface
3.1 Command Line Interface
Quidway series Switches provide a series of configuration commands and command
line interfaces for configuring and managing the switch. The command line interface
has the following characteristics:
zLocal configuration via the Console port.
zLocal or remote configuration via Telnet or SSH.
zRemote configuration through a dial-up Modem to log in the switch.
zHierarchy command protection to avoid the unauthorized users accessing switch.
zEnter a “?” to get immediate online help.
zProvide network testing commands, such as Tracert and Ping, to fast troubleshoot
the network.
zProvide various detailed debugging information to help with network
troubleshooting.
zLog in and manage other switch directly, using the Telnet command.
zProvide FTP service for the users to upload and download files.
zProvide the function similar to Doskey to execute a history command.
zThe command line interpreter searches for target not fully matching the keywords.
It is ok for you to key in the whole keyword or part of it, as long as it is unique and
not ambiguous.
3.2 Command Line View
Quidway series Switches provide hierarchy protection for the command lines to avoid
unauthorized user accessing illegally.
Commands are classified into four levels, namely visit level, monitoring level, system
level and management level. They are introduced as follows:
zVisit level: Commands of this level involve command of network diagnosis tool
(such as ping and tracert), command of switch between different language
environments of user interface (language-mode) and telnet command etc. The
operation of saving configuration file is not allowed on this level of commands.
zMonitoring level: Commands of this level, including the display command and the
debugging command, are used to system maintenance, service fault diagnosis,
etc. The operation of saving configuration file is not allowed on this level of
commands.
zSystem level: Service configuration commands, including routing command and
commands on each network layer, are used to provide direct network service to
the user.
