Accessing the Branch Gateway
Methods to access the CLI
Methods to access the CLI include:
• SSH (Secure Shell) that enables you to establish a secure remote session over the
network, Services port, or dial in modem (PPP). SSH is enabled by default.
• Telnet through the network, Services port, or dial in modem (PPP). Telnet is disabled by
default.
• An SSH connection through a SAL Gateway to the S8300, then a Telnet connection to
the gateway using IP address 127.1.1.11.
If the Branch Gateway is under service contract with Avaya Services, remote service providers
can connect remotely to service the Branch Gateway with Telnet and SSH sessions. For higher
security, you can configure the Branch Gateway to authenticate remote service logins using
Access Security Gateway (ASG) authentication instead of password authentication.
Logging into the CLI
Procedure
1. Log in to the CLI with a username and password that your system administrator
2. Use RADIUS authentication if your network has a RADIUS server.
Disconnecting a Telnet session
About this task
If the normal Telnet logout does not work, disconnect a Telnet session by typing <Ctrl> +]
CLI contexts
The CLI is divided into various contexts from which sets of related commands can be entered.
Contexts are nested in a hierarchy, with each context accessible from another context, called
the parent context. The top level of the CLI tree is called the general context. Each command
has a context in which the command must be used. You can only use a command in its proper
context.
