Each Passport 4400 unit is shipped with the CLI software fully loaded. The CLI can be accessed by attaching a terminal emulation device directly to the Passport 4400 unit. To do this, attach an RJ-45 "straight-through" cable to the COM port of the terminal and to the management port of the Passport 4400 unit. A standard terminal emulation software application must be used to access the CLI. All Passport 4400 units deployed in your network can have local access to the CLI before any of the Passport 4400 network topologies can be established.
A workstation connected to the same LAN segment as Passport 4400 unit can use the Telnet utility to access the Passport 4400 unit's CLI, provided the Passport 4400 unit already has an IP address configured.
