Cisco Cisco Clean Access 3.5

You can perform most administration tasks for Cisco Clean Access through the web admin console, such 
as configure behavior, and perform operations such as starting and rebooting the server. However, in 
some cases you may need to access the server configuration directly, for example if the web admin 
console is unavailable due to incorrect network or VLAN settings. You can use the Cisco Clean Access 
command line interface (CLI) to set basic operational parameters directly on the server. 

To run the CLI commands, access the server using SSH and log in as user 

 (default password is

emulation console after logging in as
