7 CLI-Based Management
This chapter provides an overview of the CLI-based management and provides
configuration relating to CLI management.
Note:
• By default, CLI is disabled (for security purposes).
• The CLI can only be accessed by management users with the following user
levels:
√ Administrator
√ Security Administrator
√ Master
• For a description of the CLI commands, refer to the CLI Reference Guide.
7.1 Enabling CLI
By default, access to the device's CLI through Telnet and SSH is disabled. This section
describes how to enable these protocols.
7.1.1 Enabling Telnet for CLI
The following procedure describes how to enable Telnet. You can enable a secured Telnet
that uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) where information is not transmitted in clear text. If
SSL is used, a special Telnet client is required on your PC to connect to the Telnet
interface over a secured connection; examples include C-Kermit for UNIX and Kermit-95
for Windows.
For security, some organizations require the display of a proprietary notice upon starting a
Telnet session. To configure such a message, see 'Creating a Login Welcome Message'
on page 70.
 To enable Telnet:
1. Open the CLI Settings page (Setup menu > Administration tab > Web & CLI folder >
CLI Settings).
2. Configure the following parameters:
• 'Embedded Telnet Server': Select Enable Unsecured or Enable Secured (i.e,
SSL) to enable Telnet.
• 'Telnet Server TCP Port': Enter the port number of the embedded Telnet server.
• 'Telnet Server Idle Timeout': Enter the duration of inactivity in the Telnet session
after which the session automatically ends.
