Command Purpose
Telnet session.
session cxsc
Example:
ciscoasa# session cxsc
Opening command session with slot 1.
Connected to module cxsc. Escape character
sequence is 'CTRL-^X'.
cxsc login: admin
Password: Admin123
Accesses the module using Telnet. You are prompted for the username and
password. The default username is admin, and the default password is
Admin123.
Console session.
session cxsc console
Example:
ciscoasa# session cxsc console
Establishing console session with slot 1
Opening console session with module cxsc.
Connected to module cxsc. Escape character
sequence is 'CTRL-SHIFT-6 then x'.
cxsc login: admin
Password: Admin123
Accesses the module console. You are prompted for the username and
password. The default username is admin, and the default password is
Admin123.
Note Do not use this command in conjunction with a terminal server
where Ctrl-Shift-6, x is the escape sequence to return to the
terminal server prompt. Ctrl-Shift-6, x is also the sequence to
escape the ASA CX console and return to the ASA prompt.
Therefore, if you try to exit the ASA CX console in this situation,
you instead exit all the way to the terminal server prompt. If you
reconnect the terminal server to the ASA, the ASA CX console
session is still active; you can never exit to the ASA prompt. You
must use a direct serial connection to return the console to the ASA
prompt.
Use the session cxsc command instead.
