CLI Support and Remote Management
Out of band-width management is now available on SonicWALL appliances using the
CLI (Command Line Interface) feature. SonicWALL Internet security appliances can
now be managed from a console using typed commands and a modem or null-modem
cable that is connected to the serial port located on the back of the SonicWALL
appliance.The only modem currently supported is the Frost v.90 modem. CLI
communication requires the following modem settings:
•
9600 bps
•
8 bits
•
no parity
•
no hand-shaking
After the modem is accessed, a telnet window is used to manage the SonicWALL
Internet security appliance. Once the SonicWALL is accessed, type in the User Name
and password: admin for user name and then the password used for the management
interface.
