User's Manual 5. CLI-Based Management
5 CLI-Based Management
This section provides an overview of the CLI-based management and configuration relating
to CLI management. The device's CLI-based management interface can be accessed
using the RS-232 serial port or by using Secure SHell (SSH) or Telnet through the Ethernet
interface.
Warning: If you are using the PuTTY terminal emulator for CLI, you must enable the
use of the backspace key in the CLI; otherwise, an error will be generated and your
settings will not be applied. To enable backspace functionality, start PuTTY and then
in the PuTTY Configuration window, expand the Terminal folder, click Keyboard, and
then select the Control-H option under the 'The Backspace key' group.
Notes:
•
For security, CLI is disabled by default.
•
For information on accessing the CLI interface through the RS-232 port interface,
see 'CLI' on page
30 .
•
CLI is used only for debugging and mainly allows you to view various information
regarding device configuration and performance.
5.1 Enabling CLI using Telnet
The device's CLI can be accessed using Telnet. Secure Telnet using Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) can be configured whereby information is not transmitted in the clear. If SSL is used,
a special Telnet client is required on your PC to connect to the Telnet interface over a
secured connection; examples include C-Kermit for UNIX and Kermit-95 for Windows.
For security, some organizations require the display of a proprietary notice upon starting a
Telnet session. You can use the configuration ini file parameter, WelcomeMessage to
configure such a message (see Creating a Login Welcome Message on page
60 ).

To enable Telnet:
1. Open the Telnet/SSH Settings page ( Configuration tab > System menu >
Management > Telnet/SSH Settings ).
Figure 5-1: Telnet Settings on Telnet/SSH Settings Page
2. Set the ‘Embedded Telnet Server’ parameter to Enable Unsecured or Enable
Secured (i.e, SSL).
3. Configure the other Tenet parameters as required. For a description of these
parameters, see Telnet Parameters on page
489 .
4. Click Submit .
5. Save the changes to flash memory with a device reset.
