The CLI can only be used through a Telnet client session in an
out-of-band management environment, using the Ethernet port in the
director or switch. Although the primary use of the CLI is in
host-based scripting environments, the CLI commands can also be
entered directly at a command line. Any hardware platform that
supports the Telnet client software can be used.
If you have the Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager (EFC Manager) and a
Product Manager for a director or switch installed, you can use the Configure
option in these products to enable/disable Telnet access. You can also
enable/disable Telnet access by using the Configure option of the SANpilot
interface.
Telnet access is enabled by default. Any changes to the enabled state of the
Telnet server are retained through system resets and power cycles.

If the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the director or switch
during a Telnet session, one of three scenarios is possible:
• Replace the Ethernet cable before the client connection times out,
and the Telnet session will continue.
• Wait 15 minutes until the client connection times out; then replace
the Ethernet cable and restart the connection.
• If the client connection has already timed out, replace the
Ethernet cable. Open a SANpilot interface window or Enterprise
Fabric Connectivity Manager (EFCM) Product Manager window.
Toggle the enabled state of the CLI, thereby clearing the client
connection. Restart the client connection.
Once the client connection is reestablished, verify your
configuration’s completeness and accuracy.
