Starting and Ending a CLI Session

Open a telnet connection from a workstation on your network.

You initiate a telnet connection by issuing the following command from an IP host that supports telnet, for
example, a personal computer running a telnet application such as NCSA Telnet.

telnet <ip_address>

You must know the IP address of the 2247-N8 before you can make a telnet connection to it. By default, your
2247-N8 uses 192.168.1.254 as the IP address for its LAN interface. You can use a Web browser to configure
the 2247-N8 IP address.

Logging In

The command line interface log-in process emulates the log-in process for a UNIX host. To logon, enter the
username and your password.

Entering the administrator password lets you display and update all 2247-N8 settings.

When you have logged in successfully, the command line interface lists the username and the security level
associated with the password you entered in the diagnostic log.

Ending a CLI Session

You end a command line interface session by typing

quit

from the SHELL node of the command line interface

hierarchy.
