If your entry is incorrect, the system issues an error message and you can try
again. You are allowed three failed attempts before the system issues an error
message telling you that there are excess failures. If this occurs, you will be
returned to User mode where you can start again.
System Access You can access the ACLI using the different means described in this section.
Local Console Access Console access takes place via a serial connection to the console port directly on the
Net-Net SBC chassis. When you are working with the Net-Net SBC at the console,
the ACLI comes up automatically.
Accessing the ACLI through a console connection is the most secure method of
connection, given that the physical location is itself secure.
Remote Telnet Access Accessing the ACLI via Telnet gives you the flexibility to connect to your Net-Net
SBC from a remote location. In addition, you can administer multiple Net-Net SBCs
from a single location.
Caution: Security is a main issue of concern with a Telnet connection.
If you elect to use a Telnet connection to configure your Net-Net SBC,
be aware that Telnet connections are not secure. You should connect
your Net-Net SBC’s management interface to a secure administrative
LAN.
Remote SSH Access SSH provides strong authentication and secure communications over unsecure
channels. Accessing the ACLI via an SSH connection gives you the flexibility to
connect to your Net-Net SBC from a remote location over an insecure connection.
ACLI Help and
Display
The Net-Net 4000’s ACLI offers several features that aid with navigation and allow
you to customize the ACLI so that you can work more efficiently.
• Alphabetized help output—When you enter either a command followed by a
question mark, the output is now sorted alphabetically and aligned in columns.
The exception is the exit command, which always appears at the end of a
column.
• Partial command entry help—When you enter a partial command followed by a
question mark, the new Help output displays only commands that match the
letter you type rather than the entire list.
• The more prompt—You can set a more option in the ACLI that controls
whether or not you can use more with any of the following commands: show,
display, acl-show, and view-log-file. Turning this option on gives you the
ability to view output from the command one page at a time. By default, this
option is enabled. Your setting is persistent across ACLI sessions.
With the more feature enabled, the ACLI displays information one page at a
time and does so universally across the ACLI. A line at the bottom of the screen
