Access the command line
To configure devices using commands, you must first access the command line, and then log on as
needed.
This procedure assumes that you have already configured the ConnectPort LTS product with an IP
address.
1. To access the command-line interface for the ConnectPort LTS product, enter the following
command from a command prompt on another networked device, such as a server:
#> telnet ip address
Or
#> ssh user@ ip address
Where:
ip address is the ConnectPort LTS product’s IP address.
user is the username on ConnectPort LTS product.
For example:
#> telnet 192.3.23.5
Or
#> ssh root@192.2.23.5
Or connect to the serial console port with a terminal emulator.
2. A login prompt is displayed. If you do not know the user name and password for the device, contact
the system administrator who configured the device. The default username is “root” and the default
password is “dbps.”
3. If the system interface access option of the user is set as “Shell”, the bash-shell can be accessed after
authentication is passed. To access configuration-shell from the bash-shell, enter following command
on the bash-shell.
#> configshell
If the system interface access option of the user is set as “CLI menu”, the configuration-shell can be
accessed directly after authentication is passed. For details on configuring the system interface access
option, see the Digi product’s User’s Guide or the “set user” command.
Configure an IP address
If the device to which you will be issuing commands has not already been assigned an IP address, or if the
IP address needs to be modified from its initial configuration, see the Digi product’s User’s Guide for
details on configuring an IP address.
