2. To launch the CLI via telnet, issue the following telnet command from a command prompt on
another networked device, such as a server:
#> telnet ip-address
Replace ip-address with the IP address of the ConnectPort LTS device. For example:
#> telnet 192.3.23.5
For secure connections, use the ssh command as follows:
#> ssh username@ip-address
Replace username with the user name used to sign in to the ConnectPort LTS device and
replace ip-address with the IP address of the device. For example:
#> ssh root@192.3.23.5
If security is enabled for the ConnectPort LTS device, a login prompt appears for telnet/SSH
access. If you do not know the user name and password for the device, contact the system
administrator who originally configured the device.
After you successfully sign in to the command-line interface, you can access the configuration
shell interface (configshell) or the general bash-shell, according to the your user settings for
system interface access. When the user system interface access option is set to Shell, you can
access the general bash-shell directly and run various system commands. In addition, you can
run the configshell command to enter the configuration-specific shell interface. If the your
system interface access option is set to CLI menu, the you can access the configuration shell
interface directly, but you cannot access the general bash-shell.
