About the Interface
The BCM2 provides a command line interface that enables data center
administrators to perform some basic management tasks.
Using this interface, you can do the following:
• Reset the BCM2 device
• Display the BCM2 and network information, such as the device name,
firmware version, IP address, and so on
• Configure the BCM2 and network settings
• Troubleshoot network problems
You can access the interface over a local connection using a terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerminal, or via a Telnet or SSH client
such as PuTTY.
Note: Telnet access is disabled by default because it communicates
openly and is thus insecure. To enable Telnet, see Changing Telnet
Settings (on page 199).
