Chapter 2: Using the Command-Line Interface 27
Accessing the CLI
You can access the CLI by using a direct console connection or by using a Telnet
or SSH connection from a remote management host.
For the initial connection, you must use a direct connection to the console port.
You cannot access the system remotely until the system has an IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway. You can set the network configuration information
manually, or you can configure the system to accept these settings from a
BOOTP server on your network. For more information, see āConsole Port Access
Commandsā on page 38.
