Command Line Interface
A command line interface (CLI) is available for entering all the commands you can use with the
EMG. In this user guide, after each section of instructions for using the web interface, you will find
a link to the equivalent CLI commands. You can access the command line interface using Telnet,
SSH, or a serial terminal connection.
Note:
By default, Telnet is disabled and SSH is enabled. To enable Telnet, use the
Services > SSH/Telnet/Logging web page, a serial terminal connection, or an SSH
connection. (See Chapter 7: Services .)
The sysadmin user and users with full administrative rights have access to the complete command
set, while all other users have access to a reduced command set based on their permissions.
