HP Surestore 64 Director Switch - Manual (Page 30)

18 Telnet Session
Telnet Session
The CLI can only be used through a Telnet client session in an out-of-band management
environment, using the Ethernet port in the director or switch. Although the primary use of
the CLI is in host-based scripting environments, the CLI commands can also be entered
directly at a command line. Any hardware platform that supports the Telnet client software
can be used.
Ethernet Connection Loss
If the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the director or switch during a Telnet session,
one of three scenarios is possible:
• Replace the Ethernet cable before the client connection times out, and the Telnet
session will continue.
• Wait 10 minutes for the client connection times out; then replace the Ethernet cable and
restart the connection.
• If the client connection has already timed out, open an HP Embedded Web Server (HP
EWS) or HP Surestore Director FC-64 Product Manager window. Toggle the enabled
state of the Command Line Interface (CLI), thereby clearing the client connection.
Restart the client connection.
Once the client connection is reestablished, verify your configuration’s completeness and
accuracy.
