378 The Command Line Interface
Connecting to the Nortel SNAS
You can access the CLI in two ways:
•
using a console connection through the console port (see “Establishing
a console connection” (page 378))
• using a Telnet connection or SSH connection over the network (see
“Establishing a Telnet connection” (page 379) or “Establishing a
connection using SSH” (page 380))
Establishing a console connection
Use a console connection to perform the initial setup and when reinstalling
the Nortel SNAS software as the boot user. You must also use a console
connection when logging in as root user for advanced troubleshooting
purposes.
Requirements
To establish a console connection with the Nortel SNAS, you need the
following:
•
An ASCII terminal or a computer running terminal emulation software
