Accessing the IP Element Manager CLI
The Element Manager CLI uses SNMP to query the login authentication type (for example, Telnet
Login or Enable Password Login) that the device uses to create the Telnet session token. If SNMP
fails, the Element Manager CLI will not work for that device.
To display the Element Manager CLI, complete the following steps.
1. Right-click a device on the Network Objects list or the IP or L2 Topology views and select CLI
through Server.
The Element Manager CLI displays and an attempt is made to establish a Telnet session with
the credentials configured in your user profile (refer to
“Configuring CLI credentials” on
page 214). If the user profile credentials are no longer valid, the User Account for Login to
Device_IP_Address dialog box displays.
2. Enter the user name and password for login in the appropriate fields.
NOTE
These credentials are only used for the Element Manager CLI login. You should also update
these credentials in your user profile. Refer to
“Configuring CLI credentials” on page 214.
3. Click OK. The Element Manager CLI displays ( Figure 322 ).
If successful, the Connect button is disabled and the Disconnect button is enabled.
When an active CLI session exists and the device goes offline, the connection terminates and a
message “Disconnected IP_Address” displays.
