Telnet and SSH
You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is
enabled. Select the Administration tab, the Network option on the top menu bar, and then the Access
option under Console on the left navigation menu. By default, Telnet is enabled. Enabling SSH
automatically disables Telnet.
Telnet for basic access. Telnet provides the basic security of authentication by user name and
password, but not the high-security benefits of encryption. To use Telnet to access the control console of
the Network Management Card:
1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press
ENTER:
telnet address
As address, use the IP address of the Network Management Card (or DNS name if
configured).
2. Enter the user name and password (by default, apc and apc for an Administrator, or device and
apc for a Device User).
SSH for high-security access. If you use the high security of SSL for the Web interface, use Secure
SHell (SSH) for access to the control console. SSH encrypts user names, passwords, and transmitted
data.
The interface, user accounts, and user access rights are the same whether you access the control console
through SSH or Telnet, but to use SSH, you must first configure SSH and have an SSH client program
installed on your computer.
See the User’s Guide for more information on configuring and using SSH.
