Starting the Telnet session
Remote Telnet access requires a workstation with Telnet client software.
To establish a Telnet session, run the Telnet client software and issue the
Telnet command on the workstation:
telnet <host IP address>
Connect to the SMC host IP address
Once the Telnet session is initiated, you are prompted to log on and enter a
valid password. See “Users and passwords” on
page 162 .
When the login is validated, the Main Menu of the CLI appears.
Using Secure Shell (SSH)
Using an SSH connection, you can manage the SMC from any workstation
connected to the network. SSH access provides the same management
options as those available through the local serial port.
