Direct Serial-Console Connection Refer to the Console Cable kit, which is included with your console cable for
information regarding setting up the physical serial-console connection.
Remote Telnet Login You can Telnet to the Management-Ethernet port on the box from a host on the same network as
the Management-Ethernet port, or from any host with a route to the Management-Ethernet network.
To run the CLI remotely:
Step 1. Open a terminal or terminal emulator window. For example: from the command line, enter the telnet
command with the IP address, or network name, of the Management-Ethernet port.
# telnet 10.0.0.47
The CLI login prompt (Login: ) is displayed.
Step 2. Enter a CLI user name.
The CLI password prompt (Password:) is displayed.
Step 3. Enter the CLI user password.
The prompt changes to HP-IB> to indicate a successful login. The system is now ready to receive CLI
commands.
Remote SSH Login HP Fabric Clustering System Switch OS supports SSH2 for secure, encrypted login to the CLI. SSH
is enabled by default, and does not require additional configuration.
To login via SSH, use an SSH client (e.g. Putty) to port 22.
