5.4.2.1 Running Telnet
After the Management port IP address is configured, the CLI can be accessed with
a Telnet connection. To establish a Telnet connection, run a Telnet program and
issue the telnet command, followed by the Management port IP address.
The following displays an example of a Telnet login:
C:\>telnet 192.168.1.xx1
Login: admin
Password: ########
ALU-1#
The default login is admin.
The default password is admin.
5.4.3 SSH Connection
SSH access via a connection to the Management port provides the same options for
user and administrator access as those available through the console port or Telnet;
however, SSH is more secure than Telnet. You can access the chassis with an SSH
connection from a PC or workstation connected to the network once the following
conditions are met:
• the chassis has successfully initialized
• the Management port has been configured using the bof>address command as
shown below:
CLI Syntax: bof
address ip-prefix/ip-prefix-length [active |
standby]
where:
address is an IPv4 or IPv6 address
Note: SSH connection attempts after a reboot may generate key warnings as the node
generates new SSH keys on each reboot. To avoid these key warnings, enable key
preservation using the config>system>security>ssh>preserve-key command.
