How to Access a Configured Network Management Card
Telnet/SSH You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure
SHell (SSH), depending on which is enabled. (An
Administrator can enable these access methods through the
Telnet/SSH option of the Network menu.) By default, Telnet
is enabled. Enabling SSH automatically disables Telnet.
Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of
authentication by user name and password, but not the high-
security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access an
Network Management Card’s control console from any
computer on the same subnet:
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line,
and press E NTER :
telnet address
As address, use the Network Management Card’s IP
address or DNS name (if configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and
apc for an Administrator, or device and apc for a Device
Manager).
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of
SSL for the Web interface, use Secure SHell (SSH) for access
to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords,
and transmitted data.
The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the
same whether you access the control console through SSH or
Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have
an SSH client program installed on your computer.
