Network Management Card: How to Access a Configured Unit

34 InfraStruXure InRow RC—Operation and Maintenance

Telnet/SSH

You can access the control console through Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH), depending on which is

enabled. (To enable these access methods, select the Administration tab, then Network on the top menu

bar, and 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 Network

Management Card’s control console from any computer on the same network:

1. At a command prompt, use the following command line, and press

ENTER:

telnet address

As address, use the Network Management Card’s IP address 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.
