APPENDIX

Using the Command-Line Interface

The VPN 3000 Concentrator Series Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a menu- and command-line-based

configuration, administration, and monitoring system built into the VPN Concentrator. You use it via the

system console or a Telnet (SSL Telnet or SSH) session.

You can use the CLI to completely manage the system. You can access and configure the same

parameters as the HTML-based VPN 3000 Concentrator Series Manager, except for IPSec LAN-to-LAN

configuration.

This chapter describes general features of the CLI and how to access and use it. It does not describe the

individual menu items and parameter entries. For information on specific parameters and options, see

the corresponding section of the VPN Concentrator Manager in the VPN 3000 Series Concentrator

Reference. For example, to understand Ethernet interface configuration parameters and choices, see

Configuration | Interfaces | Ethernet 1 2 3 in the “Interfaces” chapter of VPN 3000 Series Concentrator

Reference Volume I: Configuration.
