Once the diagnose ports set, superuser could use ssh or telnet to access the CLI commands to
help troubleshoot network problems or server problems. There are maximum two diagnose
ports. By default they are 77:87. The first one will be SSH and second one will be Telnet. If
there is only one port specified, only SSH access is allowed.
