Command Line Interface
Telnet Sessions
The CLI can be used only through a Telnet Client session in an
out-of-band management environment, using the Ethernet port in the
switch. Although the primary use of the CLI is in host-based scripting
environments, the CLI commands can also be entered directly at a
command line. Any hardware platform that supports the Telnet
Client software can be used.
Enable Telnet access through the Connectrix Manager (or a Product Manager)
before attempting to establish a Telnet client session. Refer to Enabling Telnet
on page 5-44.
Ethernet
Connection Loss
If the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the switch during a Telnet
session, one of three scenarios is possible:
â—† Replace the Ethernet cable before the client connection times out,
and the Telnet session will continue.
â—† Wait 15 minutes for the client connection times out; then replace
the Ethernet cable and restart the connection.
â—† If the client connection has already timed out:
a. Replace the Ethernet cable.
b. Open an Embedded Web Server (EWS) or Connectrix Manager
Product Manager window.
c. Toggle the enabled state of the CLI, thereby clearing the client
connection.
d. Restart the client connection.
Once the client connection is reestablished, verify your
configuration’s completeness and accuracy.
