Using the Telnet/SSH/CLI Interface

This chapter describes how to use the Telnet/Secure Shell (SSH)/Command Line Interface (CLI) (Telnet/SSH/
CLI) interface to access the Network Card-MS.

Overview

Telnet is a terminal emulation protocol you can use to access and configure the parameters for the Network
Card-MS. Telnet is not a secure protocol, but when used with SSH, the connection is secure.
A MENU interface that groups the configuration parameters in pre-defined menus for easy navigation
l
A CLI that allows direct access to the individual configuration parameters
l
Telnet access to the Network Card-MS is enabled by default, with SSH security enabled and the MENU
interface selected.

Session Constraints

Up to five sessions with the Network Card-MS may be open at one time. Each open session must have the
same protocol configuration. You cannot open sessions with different protocols.
Table 11 lists possible session protocol configurations.
