Conﬁguration Parameters

vcli_password

This Model 5390 parameter deﬁnes a password required for virtual CLI connections to the Model

5390 server. The string size ranges from 0 to 15 characters. This parameter is useful for local

password protection and as a backup to host-based security. For local password protection, set the

enable_security parameter to Y, set the vcli_security parameter to N, and deﬁne a password for

this parameter. As a backup for host-based security, setting this parameter causes the Model 5390

server to request a password on a virtual CLI connection whenever the security server does not

respond. The default is "<unset>".

NOTE: Changes to this parameter take effect immediately.

This Model 5390 parameter enables user validation on virtual CLI connections to and from the

Model 5390 server for the duration of the connection. When enabled, the Model 5390 server enables

connection security for all virtual CLI connections and executes the same user validation, including

user name and password, that it uses with CLI security on asynchronous ports. This parameter works

with host-based security only when the enable_security parameter is set to Y. A Y enables this

parameter, an N disables it. The default is N.

This Model 5390 parameter deﬁnes the AppleTalk zone name that the Model 5390 server uses at

startup. The string size ranges from 0 to 32 characters. You must separate zone names with spaces

(for example, general pubs lab). To escape embedded spaces, use the backslash (\) character. The

default is a null string ("").
