You can also access the router over Ethernet, using Secure Shell (SSH) and optionally 
over Telnet. 
To access CLI over Ethernet start an SSH client and connect to the router’s management 
IP address, on port 22: 192.168.100.1/24.  
On the first connection, you may be asked to confirm that you trust the host.
