Wizard

Command Line Interface (CLI)

With the ACS set up as a Console Access Server, you can access a server connected to the ACS through the server’s serial console port from a workstation on the LAN or WAN.

There is no authentication by default; you can configure the system for authentication to be performed by a Radius server, a TacacsPlus server, or even by a local database. You can use either Telnet or ssh (a secure shell session).
