13.1 How to Connect to the CLI of the EFN324
The EFN324 has a built-in CLI (Command Line Interface) for manual
configuration of the switch.
The CLI can be accessed by using either of the following:
Remotely, using a Telnet, or a SSH (Secure Shell), session.
Locally, via the RS232 console port.
SSH offers a more secure connection than Telnet. SSH is not described
further in this guide.

application.
A D-sub 9 female to D-sub 9 female straight console cable.

1. Connect the console cable to a serial port on the PC and the console
connector on the front of the EFN324.
