Introduction
This chapter contains information about how to access system management
features on the SMC. Management access is required for collecting system
information, configuring system parameters beyond initial setup, establishing
security policies, and monitoring policy effectiveness.
Management tools
The SMC provides the following system management tools:
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
The CLI offers a text-based menu system for collecting system
information and configuring system parameters. Use of the CLI is
required for initial setup of the system. You can access the CLI accessed
locally at the SMC or remotely through Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH)
after access is granted. See “Defining the remote access list” on
page 89 .
