Telnet
Ethernet VBricks can be managed remotely via industry-standard Telnet. The same suites of
menus that are displayed on a local terminal are instantly available over an IP network.
VBrick uses the standard Telnet port (23). Telnet uses the same commands as Command Line
Interface (CLI). Both the Telnet and HyperTerminal interfaces are referred to as CLI or
Command Line Interface. For more information see Command Line Interface on page 49.
Simple Network Management Protocol
The VBrick appliance can also be configured and managed through its MIB, which is
provided on request. Various SNMP management tools are available to issue SNMP based
commands to the appliance. The command structure is similar to CLI and Telnet. It is
necessary to become the active editor and apply the changes before they take effect in the
appliance. Note that the SNMP community strings are the usernames. The following screen
shows a typical, freeware MIB browser.
