Telnet Session

The CLI can be accessed through a Telnet client session in an

out-of-band management environment, using the Ethernet port in the

director/switch or Secure Shell (SSH).

Any hardware platform that supports the Telnet client software can

be used to enter the CLI commands.

Use the Configure option in the GUI-based or web-based interfaces to

enable/disable Telnet access. Telnet access is enabled by default. Any

changes to the enabled state of the Telnet server are retained through

system restarts and power cycles.

Ethernet Connection

Loss

If the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the director or switch

during a Telnet session, do one of the following:

• Replace the Ethernet cable before the client connection times out.

The Telnet session will continue.

• Wait 15 minutes until the client connection times out; then replace

the Ethernet cable and restart the connection.

• If the client connection has already timed out, replace the

Ethernet cable. Open a GUI-based or web-based interface

SAN-management window. Toggle the enabled state of the CLI,

thereby clearing the client connection. Restart the client

connection.

After you have re-established the client connection, verify the

completeness and accuracy of your configuration.
