Accessing the CLI Using Telnet
Once the remote interface is configured with a valid IP address, you can
access the device through Telnet.
The Telnet client must have a route set up to allow access to the device. See
step 3 of “Configuring the Remote Management Interface” on page 3-13.
Note: A maximum of 10 Telnet sessions can be connected at the same
time.
For a procedure see “Accessing the CLI using Telnet” on page 3-14.
Setting the System Host Name
The system host name is a string used to uniquely identify the system. The
system host name replaces the default user prompt with a user-defined name.
The host name can be set manually, through DHCP, or through SNMP.
The following rules apply when setting a host name:
• String between 2 and 63 characters.
• The host name must not be an IP address.
• No spaces are allowed.
• At least one character must be alpha (a-z) or a dash (-).
• Host name is case sensitive.
• The following special characters are not allowed: “ % * ? !
For a procedure see “Setting the System Host Name” on page 3-15.
