Introduction

This chapter provides an introduction to the Contivity VPN Switch Command Line Interface (CLI).

Accessing the CLI

Access from a Telnet session

You access the CLI by starting a Telnet session to the switch’s Management IP Address, for example:

telnet 10.0.16.247

You then log into the switch using an account with administrator privileges, for example:

Login: admin

Password: *******

%%

Upon login, the CLI prompt appears (%%), indicating that you are in the CLI User Exec Mode. You can execute any User Exec Mode commands or change the command mode in order to execute other commands.

Note: The Telnet protocol must be enabled on the switch in order to use the CLI via a Telnet connection. Use the Services->Available screen to enable the Telnet management protocol.
