Logging in to the CLI with a telnet connection

When secure management access is disabled for the Management server, you can connect to the Management server via the network through a telnet session.

About this task

Note: By default, secure management access is enabled for the Management server; therefore, you can not connect to the Management server by using a telnet connection. For more information about enabling and disabling secure management access, see mgmt secure.

Procedure

  1. In Windows, select Start > Run.
  2. Enter telnet management server-host-name.
    The login prompt is displayed at first access.
  3. Log in to the Management server with a user name and password, which have administrative privileges. The default user name and password is:
    • Login: admin
    • Password: !n0r1t5@C
      Note: This console uses a US keyboard configuration, in which the @ symbol can be in a different place to other keyboard configurations. If you are not using a US keyboard, please ensure that you have typed the password correctly.

Results

When you log in, the prompt changes to the host name of the Management server.

If you have not selected a hostname, the prompt defaults to the IP address of the Management server.
