Starting and Ending a CLI Session
To start a CLI session, you need to open a Telnet connection from a workstation on your network.
You initiate a Telnet connection by issuing the following command from an IP host that supports Telnet, for
example, a personal computer running a Telnet application such as NCSA Telnet.
telnet < ip_address >
You must know the IP address of the NVG599 device before you can make a Telnet connection to it. By default,
your NVG599 uses 192.168.1.254 as the IP address for its LAN interface. You can use a Web browser to
configure the NVG599 IP address.
Logging In
The command line interface log-in process emulates the log-in process for a UNIX host. To log in, enter the user
name and your password.
Entering the administrator password lets you display and update all NVG599 settings.
When you have logged in successfully, the command line interface lists the user name and the security level
associated with the password you entered in the diagnostic log.
Ending a CLI Session
You end a command line interface session by typing
quit
from the SHELL node of the command line interface
hierarchy.
