Accessing the Device Through the CLI
The device can be managed over a direct connection to the console port or via a Telnet connection.
Using the CLI is similar to entering commands on a Linux system. If access is via a Telnet
connection, ensure the device has an IP address defined and that the workstation used to access the
device is connected to the device prior to beginning using CLI commands.
For information about configuring an initial IP Address, see "Static IP Address and Subnet Mask."
