Overview

You can configure some settings through a connection to the command-line interface (CLI).

This requires a terminal emulator such as PuTTY, TeraTerm, or a terminal server.

To connect to the CLI via a serial console:

1. Use the console cable to connect the appliance console port to your terminal server or computer.
2. On your computer or terminal server, start the terminal emulator. Use the following settings:

   • Baud rate: 9600

   • Data bits: 8

   • Parity: None

   • Stop bits: 1

   • Flow control: None

3. Press Enter on your keyboard to connect to the CLI.

After you configure the management port, you can connect to the management port and use the CLI remotely by SSH or Telnet.
