CLI Support and Remote Management

Out-of-band management is available on SonicWALL Internet security appliances using the CLI
(Command Line Interface) feature. SonicWALL Internet security appliances can be
managed from a console using typed commands and a modem or null-modem cable that is
connected to the serial port located on the back of the SonicWALL appliance. The only modem
currently supported is the US Robotics v.90/v.92 modem. CLI communication requires the
following modem settings:
• 9600 bps
• 8 bits
• no parity
• no hand-shaking
After the modem is accessed, a terminal emulator window such as a hyper terminal window is
used to manage the SonicWALL Internet security appliance. Once the SonicWALL is accessed,
type in the User Name and password: admin for User Name and then the password used for
the management interface.
The following CLI commands are available for the SonicWALL:
• ? or Help - displays a listing of the top level commands available.
• Export - exports preferences from the SonicWALL using Z-modem file transfer protocol.
• Import - imports preferences from the SonicWALL using Z-modem file transfer protocol.
• Logout - logout of the SonicWALL appliance.
