5 CLI-Based Management
This section provides an overview of the CLI-based management and configuration relating
to CLI management.
The device's CLI-based management interface can be accessed by using the RS-232
serial port or by using Secure SHell (SSH) or Telnet through the Ethernet interface. It
mainly allows you to view various information regarding device configuration and
performance.
Notes:
• For information on accessing the CLI interface through the RS-232 port
interface, see 'CLI' on page 26.
• The CLI is used only for debugging.
5.1 Starting a CLI Management Session
The procedure below describes how to enable Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH) and start a
CLI session.
Notes:
• A Telnet or SSH client application must be running on the management
computer. Most operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, include
a built-in Telnet client, which can be activated from the command prompt.
SSH, however, must be installed separately.
• By default, CLI is disabled for security.
• The CLI login user name and password are case-sensitive.
• Only the primary User Account (which has Security Administration
access level - 200) can be used to access the device using Telnet/CLI.
For configuring the username and password, see 'Configuring Web User
Accounts' on page 60.
• To enable CLI using SNMP, set the objects
acSysTelnetSSHServerEnable and acSysTelnetServerEnable to enable
(1).
