Accessing the Device Through the CLI
You can manage the device using CLI commands, through the CMC to the
terminal console, or via a Telnet connection.
Through CMC
Insert the device into the chassis and enter the CLI commands upon
receiving a prompt.
Telnet Connection
Telnet is a terminal emulation TCP/IP protocol. RS-232 terminals can be
virtually connected to the local device through a TCP/IP protocol network.
Telnet is an alternative to a local login terminal, where a remote login is
required.
The device supports up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions. All CLI
commands can be used over a Telnet session.
If access is via a Telnet connection, ensure that the device has an IP address
and that software has been downloaded to the device.
To start a Telnet session:
1
Select Start > Run .
The
Run window opens.
2 Ty p e cmd.
The cmd window opens.
3 In the cmd window, type Telnet < IP address > <Enter> .
all When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or
parameters and all is an option, the default for the command
is all when no parameters are defined. For example, the
command interface range port-channel has the option of
either entering a range of channels, or selecting all. When the
command is entered without a parameter, it automatically
defaults to all.
