Command Line Interface

VBrick network appliances can be configured using a standard ASCII terminal or terminal emulator program connected to the serial port (COM 2) on the rear of the appliance. Simple commands are used to configure all functions and features. VBrick currently supports two command line interfaces: a menu-based CLI and a MIB-based CLI (recommended). The menu-based CLI can only be used to access VBrick parameters for WM v1.1 and VBDNA v3.3 or earlier. The MIB-based CLI can be used to access all VBrick parameters—past and present. (Keep in mind that all parameters that are available in the MIB-based CLI are also available in the web-based IWS application. Always use IWS unless you have a compelling reason to use the command line.) You can use Telnet, HyperTerminal, or other interfaces to run the CLI. For more information see Command Line Interface on page 49.
