The Nortel SNAS software provides means for accessing, configuring, and
viewing information and statistics about the Nortel SNAS configuration. By
using the built-in, text-based command line interface and menu system,
you can access and configure the Nortel SNAS or cluster either through a
local console connection (using a computer running terminal emulation
software) or through a remote session using a Telnet client or a Secure
Shell (SSH) client.
When using a Telnet or SSH client to connect to a cluster of Nortel
SNAS devices, always connect to the Management IP address (MIP).
Configuration changes are automatically propagated to all members of
the cluster. However, to use the /boot/halt, /boot/reboot,or
/boot/delete commands, connect to the Real IP address (RIP) of
the particular Nortel SNAS device on which you want to perform these
commands, or connect to that Nortel SNAS with a console connection.
