Command Line Interface

Each switch contains a Telnet server. This server allows a Telnet client to establish 
a Telnet session with the switch to retrieve information or to configure parameters 
using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI enables you to perform a 
variety of fabric and switch management tasks through an Ethernet or a serial port 
connection.

To log on to a switch using Telnet, open a command line window on the 
management workstation and enter the Telnet command followed by the switch IP 
address:

/> telnet 123.45.67.89

A Telnet window opens prompting you for a login. Enter an account name and 
password. Switches come from the factory with the following user account already 
defined:

Account name: admin
Password: password
Authority: Admin

This user account provides full access to the switch and its configuration. After 
planning your fabric management needs and creating your own user accounts, 
consider changing the password for this account. Refer to 

 for more information about authority levels. Refer to the 

 for information about creating user accounts.

follows:
„

4 sessions for internal applications such as management server

maximum of 10 SANbox Manager and API logins. Additional logins
