Accessing the CLI
The CLI software embedded in controller modules enables you to configure,
monitor, and manage a storage system out of band.
You can access the CLI in two ways:
■ By using a terminal emulator on a management host that is directly connected to
a controller module’s serial CLI port. See the user guide for information about
setting management port IP addresses using the CLI.
■ By using telnet, an SSH application, or a terminal emulator on a management
host that is remotely connected through a LAN to a controller module’s Ethernet
port.
The default usernames and passwords are:
