With SSH or Telnet

You can remotely log in to the command line interface using an SSH or Telnet client, such as PuTTY.

Note: PuTTY is a free program you can download from the Internet. See PuTTY's documentation for details on configuration.

  1. Ensure SSH or Telnet has been enabled. See Modifying Network Service Settings in the online help.
  2. Launch an SSH or Telnet client and open a console window. A login prompt appears.

    SSH_login

  3. Type a name and press Enter. The name is case sensitive.

    Note: If using the SSH client, the name must NOT exceed 25 characters. Otherwise, the login fails.

    Then you are prompted to enter a password.

    02_password

  4. Type a password and press Enter. The password is case sensitive.
  5. After properly entering the password, the # or > system prompt appears. See Different CLI Modes and Prompts in the online help for more information.

    Tip: The "Last Login" information, including the date and time, is also displayed if the same user profile was once used to log in to this product's web interface or CLI.

  6. You are now logged in to the command line interface and can begin administering the PXE.
