Enabling CLI

By default, access to the device's CLI through Telnet and SSH is disabled. This section describes
how to enable these protocols.

Enabling Telnet for CLI

The following procedure describes how to enable Telnet. You can enable a secured Telnet that
uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) where information is not transmitted in clear text. If SSL is used, a
special Telnet client is required on your PC to connect to the Telnet interface over a secured
connection; examples include C-Kermit for UNIX and Kermit-95 for Windows.
For security, some organizations require the display of a proprietary notice upon starting a Telnet
session. To configure such a message, see
➢
To enable Telnet:
1. Open the CLI Settings page (Setup menu > Administration tab > Web & CLI folder > CLI
Settings).
2. Configure the following parameters:
● 'Embedded Telnet Server': Select Enable Unsecured or Enable Secured (i.e, SSL) to
enable Telnet.
● 'Telnet Server TCP Port': Enter the port number of the embedded Telnet server.
● 'Telnet Server Idle Timeout': Enter the duration of inactivity in the Telnet session after
which the session automatically ends.
3. Click Apply, and then reset the device with a save-to-flash for your settings to take effect.
For a detailed description of the Telnet parameters, see
By default, CLI is disabled for security purposes.
The CLI provides two access modes - Basic mode (basic commands) and
Privileged mode (all commands). Access to these modes depends on management
user level:
✔
Monitor user level: Basic mode only
✔
Administrator user level: Basic mode only
✔
Security Administrator user level: Basic and Privileged modes
✔
Master user level: Basic and Privileged modes
For a description of the CLI commands, refer to the CLI Reference Guide.
