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 or DHCP server on your network. For more
information, see Network Interface Commands on page 496.
