Working from a CLI

The BladeManager allows you to use a command line interface (CLI) as an alternative to the web interface. You may use Linux or Windows-based secure shell (SSH) client. The same restrictions to the web management interface apply to the CLI.

>>Logging In

1.To connect to the BladeManager, enter the following shell commands:

>ssh -1<username> <IP address of BladeManager>

><password>

Note: The “l” in ssh-1is the alphabet “l” as in lemon).

2.If you are an administrator, the system will display a menu. You can either run the console shell from the menu

-OR -

Go directly to the system prompt.

See the sample print of a CLI session at the end of this chapter. If you are a regular user, you will get the console shell alone, without a menu or system prompt.
