Establishing NM-CIDS Sessions

Sessioning to NM-CIDS

Use the session command to establish a session from the router to NM-CIDS. Press Ctrl-Shift-6, then
x, to return a session prompt to a router prompt, that is, to go from the NM-CIDS prompt back to the
router prompt. Press Enter on a blank line to go back to the session prompt, the NM-CIDS prompt. You
should only suspend a session to NM-CIDS if you will be returning to the session after executing router
commands. If you do not plan on returning to the NM-CIDS session, you should close the session rather
than suspend it.

connection requires a username and password to log in. A suspended session leaves you logged in to the
CLI. When you connect with the session command, you can go back to the same CLI without having to
provide your username and password.
Telnet clients vary. In some cases, you may have to press Ctrl-6 + x. The control character is specified
