Chapter 5 - Command Line
Management
The command line interface allows you to configure and monitor the
server in-band via Telnet or out-of-band with a terminal connected to
the server’s Console interface.
v Note: Proper syntax is vital to effective operation of command line
management. Case is not significant – you may enter commands in
upper case, lower case, or a combination of the two.
Out-of-Band Command Line Management
You can use command line management and text-based configuration
out-of-band as a permanent management method, or only temporarily in
order to set the server’s IP parameters to allow in-band Telnet access.
In order to access the command line out-of-band, do the following:
1. Set a terminal or a PC equipped with VT100 terminal emulation to
a baud rate of 9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Con-
trol.
2. Connect it to the server’s Console interface using the cable which
was supplied with the IntraPort 2/2+.
3. Press the <Return> key one or two times.
4. Enter the default password letmein at the password prompt. The
command line interface prompt will appear on the screen.
If you plan to use out-of-band access for ongoing management of your
server, you can find further information on configuring your server in
Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration using Command Line . Otherwise, see
the section later in this chapter on Setting Up Telnet Operation for
information on setting the server to allow Telnet access from hosts on
its network.
