longer available.

Interfaces and Protocols to Access CMC

After you have configured CMC network settings, you can remotely access CMC using various interfaces. The following
table lists the interfaces that you can use to remotely access CMC.

NOTE: Since telnet is not as secure as the other interfaces, it is disabled by default. Enable Telnet using Web, ssh,
or remote RACADM.
