Accessing the CLI
Access the CLI through the following methods:
Local login through an ASR 5x00 Console port via a serial connection with a management card
Local login through a vConsole port via the hypervisor that initiated the StarOS virtual machine
Remote login using Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH) access to the CLI through any IP interface on the system.
You can use remote login methods only after the system has been configured to support the various access
methods.
methods.
Important:
Even though you can access the CLI remotely through any available IP interface, management traffic
should be isolated from network traffic by using one of the dedicated management interfaces supported on the ASR
5x00 platform or StarOS virtual machine.
5x00 platform or StarOS virtual machine.
Multiple CLI sessions are supported, but the number of sessions varies based on the amount of available memory. The
Resource Manager reserves enough resources so that as a minimum up to 15 CLI sessions are assured. One of the CLI
sessions is always reserved for use exclusively by a CLI session on a Console or vConsole interface. Additional CLI
sessions beyond the pre-reserved set are permitted if sufficient CPU or vCPU resources are available. If the Resource
Manager is unable to reserve additional resources, you are prompted whether to allow the system to create the new CLI
session, even without the reserved resources.

Accessing the CLI Locally Using an ASR 5x00 Console Port
This section provides instructions for accessing the CLI locally through a Console port on the ASR 5x00 platform.
Establish a connection between the serial Console port on an ASR 5x00 and a workstation that has a communications
application that accesses the workstation’s serial port, such as Minicom for Linux or HyperTerminal® for MicroSoft
Windows®. Refer to the ASR 5x00 Installation Guide for detailed information on connecting to a serial Console port.
