About the Interface

The PXE provides a command line interface that enables data center administrators to perform some basic management tasks.

Using this interface, you can do the following:

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. To enable Telnet, see Modifying Network Service Settings.
