How do I get from a menu at login to CLI on a SG300-28 Switch?

[rod3]

I have a SG300-28 and would like to configure through CLI not menu. How do I get to Cli from Menu?

  I am running Boot version 1.0.0.4 and SW version 1.0.0.27, Do I need to upgrade both boot and SW or Just SW?

Hi rod3,

Typically SSH/Telnet is disabled by default on devices.  In order to activate it you will need to go through the WEB GUI to Security > TCP/UDP Services and check the boxes that say SSH or Telnet then click apply.

Then using a Terminal program of your choice you can connect to the switch and configure it.  Be advised that the CLI is not exactly the same as regular IOS.

CLI was not available on the 1.0.0.27. That was the first production release. If you want the CLI a firmware upgrade is mandatory.
