The PXE provides a command line interface that enables data center
administrators to perform some basic management tasks.
Using this interface, you can do the following:
Reset the PXE device
Display the PXE and network information, such as the device name,
firmware version, IP address, and so on
Configure the PXE and network settings
Troubleshoot network problems
You can access the interface over a local connection using a terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerminal, or via a Telnet or SSH client
such as PuTTY.
Note: Telnet access is disabled by default because it communicates
openly and is thus insecure. To enable Telnet, see
(on page 127).
