Configuration Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
Using a Telnet/SSH Console
The ES8509-XT supports a Telnet console or SSH console with the Command Line Interface (CLI), which is
the same as what you see using the RS-232 console port. The SSH connection can secure all the configuration
commands you send to the ES8509-XT.
SSH is a client/server architecture while the ES8509-XT is the SSH server. When you want to make SSH
connection with the ES8509-XT, you can use PortVision DX or download an SSH client tool.
The next discussion provides procedures to use PortVision DX with a Telnet or SSH connection.
You can use PortVision DX to access the CLI using the following procedure.
1. If you have not done so, install PortVision DX
(Installing PortVision DX
on Page 18).
2. Start PortVision DX.
3. Right-click the ES8509-XT in the Device List pane (lower) and click Telnet/SSH.
4. Select either Telnet or SSH and leave the default port number.
