6 User interfaces
This section describes the three user interfaces (UIs) that can be used to configure, manage, and monitor
the VLS over the web, remotely over the L AN, or through a serial connection. It also provides instructions
on how to open and close a connection to the VLS for each type of user interface. It is comprised
of the following topics:
• User interface requirements
• Command View VLS
• Secure shell and serial user interfaces
User interfa
ce requirements
Table 3 list
s the VLS user interfaces and their requirements. Of the three user interfaces, Command View
VLS should be used in most circumstances. It is the most intuitive and easiest to learn and use.
Multiple user interface sessions may be open at once.
