Most inexpensive switches do not have the capability to log into them because they don't need to be managed or configured. For managed switches that do, either the use of Telnet protocol or a console port will allow access to the switch.
If you have a mnagable one you can change setting such as packet filtering, firewall, protocol filtering and so. If you have a unmanagable on you cannot change its settings. Usually managable switches are much more expensive than unmanagaable ones because of its flexibility.
It doesn't necessarily need and IP. Depends on whether it is a managed or unmanaged switch. For instance your switch would need an IP address in order to telnet to it.

A Cisco switch is a piece of network hardware which has been manufactured by Cisco Systems. Usually Cisco switches are 'managed' switches, which means they can be accessed via the network and configured to perform advanced features such as VLANs, DHCP and routing. They are typically more expensive than a standard network switch and can cost up to tens of thousands of dollars.
Your question doesn't make any sense. You don't "read" a switch. Did you want to access the GUI for the switch? This is only an option on "managed switches". Usually their web GUI is available on the standard http port, port 80.
