52 Configuring CMC to Use Command Line Consoles
Using a Serial, Telnet, or SSH Console
When you connect to the CMC command line, you can enter these commands:
Using a Telnet Console With the CMC
Up to four Telnet client systems and four SSH clients may connect at any
given time.
If your management station is running Windows XP or Windows 2003, you
may experience an issue with the characters in a CMC Telnet session. This
issue may occur as a frozen login where the return key does not respond and
the password prompt does not appear.
To fix this issue, download hotfix 824810 from the Microsoft Support website
at support.microsoft.com. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article 824810 for
more information.
Using SSH With the CMC
SSH is a command line session that includes the same capabilities as a Telnet
session, but with session negotiation and encryption to improve security.
The CMC supports SSH version 2 with password authentication. SSH is
enabled on the CMC by default.
NOTE: The CMC does not support SSH version 1.
