The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a real-time, terminal-based system used to update the manageable objects of the Passport 4400 unit. It has two functions--it acts as the interface to the SNMP client and as the interface to the user. The user interface is accomplished through a Telnet connection over the LAN port or through an asynchronous interface connection. A set of text commands allows the user to access all applicable command objects.
Each Passport 4400 unit is configured separately using the Passport 4400 unit Command Line Interface. The CLI is used locally to configure, provision and monitor Passport 4400 units. With a telnet connection and the proper security authorization, you can use the CLI to access any of the Passport 4400 units in your network. Once you have accessed a Passport 4400 unit, you can examine the network system, configure system components and modules, and monitor or update settings.
