Command Line Interface (CLI)
Accessing the CLI
The CLI commands are intended for main initialization and simple diagnostics. You can use
ssh or telnet to access the CLI commands to help troubleshoot network problems or server
problems. There are maximum two diagnostic ports. By default they are 77:87. The first
one will be SSH and second one will be Telnet. If there is only one port specified, only SSH
access is allowed.
For example, to SSH into the WebMux, the following command can be issued from any
Linux®/UNIX® computer. For Windows® computers, PuTTY can be used and can be freely
downloaded over the Internet.
ssh –l superuser –p port_number WebMux_ip_address
Once logged into the CLI, the following screen will be shown:

Please answer yes/no questions with y or n. Please supply IP
addresses as dotted quads. This program runs in a loop until you
agree to reboot with your entered settings or decide to quit.
After the first iteration through the questions, your earlier

appear in brackets in a prompt. Simply entering a return will
accept the default.
