Preface
This Guide is intended for network administrator to provide referenced information about CLI
(Command Line Interface). The switch mentioned in this Guide stands for
TL-SG3210/TL-SG3216/TL-SG3424/TL-SG3424P without any explanation. The commands in this
guilde apply to these four models if not specially noted, and TL-SG3424 is taken as an example
model in the example commands.
Overview of this Guide
Chapter 1: Using the CLI
Provide information about how to use the CLI, CLI Command Modes, Security Levels and some

Chapter 1 Using the CLI
1.1 Accessing the CLI
You can log on to the switch and access the CLI by the following two methods:
1. Log on to the switch by the console port on the switch.
2. Log on to the switch remotely by a Telnet or SSH connection through an Ethernet port.
1.1.1 Logon by a console port
To log on to the switch by the console port on the switch, please take the following steps:
1. Connect the PCs or Terminals to the console port on the switch by the provided cable.
2. Start the terminal emulation program (such as the HyperTerminal) on the PC.
3. Specify the connection COM port in the terminal emulation program.
4. Configure the terminal emulation program or the terminal to use the following settings:
Baud rate: 38400 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: none
5. The DOS prompt” TL-SG3424>” will appear after pressing the Enter button as shown in
Figure 1-1 . It indicates that you can use the CLI now.
