Using the Command Line Interface
This user guide explains how to use the command line interface (CLI) to administer the PRO3X. Note that available CLI
commands are model dependent. CLI commands are case sensitive.
About the Interface
The PRO3X 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 PRO3X
•
Display the PRO3X and network information, such as the device name, firmware version, IP address, and so on
•
Configure the PRO3X 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.
Logging in to CLI
Logging in via HyperTerminal over a local connection is a little different than logging in using SSH or Telnet.
If a security login agreement has been enabled, you must accept the agreement in order to complete the login. Users are
authenticated first and the security banner is checked afterwards.
With HyperTerminal
You can use any terminal emulation programs for local access to the command line interface.
This section illustrates HyperTerminal, which is part of Windows operating systems prior to Windows Vista.
To log in using HyperTerminal:
1. Connect your computer to the product via a local (USB or RS-232) connection.
2. Launch HyperTerminal on your computer and open a console window. When the window first opens, it is blank.
Make sure the COM port settings use this configuration:
▪
Bits per second = 115200 (115.2Kbps)
▪
Data bits = 8
▪
Stop bits = 1
▪
Parity = None
▪
Flow control = None
3. In the communications program, press Enter to send a carriage return to the PRO3X. The Username prompt appears.
