Cli Login; Logging In Through The Console Port; Configuration Requirements - HP 5800 Series Configuration Manual

CLI login

The CLI enables you to interact with a device by typing text commands. At the CLI, instruct your device to
perform a given task by typing a text command and then pressing Enter to submit it to your device.
Compared with the graphical user interface (GUI), where you can use a mouse to perform configuration, the
CLI allows you to enter more information in one command line.
Log in to the device at the CLI through the console port, Telnet, SSH, or modem.
By default, log in to a device through the console port without any authentication, which introduces
•
security problems.
By default, you cannot log in to a device through Telnet, SSH, so you cannot remotely manage and
•
maintain the device.
Therefore, you must perform configurations to increase device security and manageability.

Logging in through the console port

Logging in through the console port is the most common login method, and is also the first step to configure
other login methods.
By default, log in to a device through its console port only. After logging in to the device through the console
port, configure other login methods.
