About the Interface
Dominion PX provides a command line interface that enables data center
administrators to perform some basic management tasks.
Using this interface, you can do the following:
 Reset the Dominion PX device
 Display the Dominion PX and network information, such as the device
name, firmware version, IP address, and so on
 Configure the Dominion PX and network settings
 Troubleshoot network problems
You can access the interface over a serial connection using a terminal
emulation program such as HyperTerminal, or via a Telnet or SSH client
such as PuTTY.
Note: Telnet access is disabled by default because it communicates
openly and is thus insecure. To enable Telnet, see Modifying the
Network Service Settings (on page 57).
Logging in to CLI
Logging in via HyperTerminal over a serial connection is a little different
than logging in using SSH or Telnet.
