Configuring CLI settings

The simplest way for you to configure a new set of CLI settings is to use an existing set of system settings as a template and to modify the template settings as desired for use with a specific device or group of devices.

To configure new remote CLI settings:

Go to the Remote CLI Settings dialog (SETTINGS menu > Configuration Management > CLI Settings Library).
The CLI Settings Library displays.

Tip: By default, the dialog displays all remote CLI settings currently configured. You can filter this list by selecting a specific device by which to filter.
Click the 'add' () button.
New Remote Login CLI Settings dialog displays.
Enter a Description for the settings.
To add an IP address, or another OID, click 'add' (). The Add Key dialog displays.
Select the Key Type that you want to add, either oid or ip. If you choose to map the settings to an OID, or group of OIDs, the settings apply to any device with that OID that uses the SSH or Telnet credentials associated with the settings you are configuring. If you choose to map the settings to a specific IP address, the settings only apply to the device with the specific IP address you specify.
Enter the appropriate OID or IP address.
Click OK to add the new key and to return to the settings configuration dialog.
Ensure that the correct Protocol is selected, ssh, telnet, or All.
Ensure that all prompt, response and terminator boxes are specified appropriately. For more information about these boxes, see About CLI Settings.
Note: If you leave any box blank, Configuration Management uses either the default Telnet or SSH settings for that box.
Click OK to save copied/modified settings to the Remote CLI Settings library.

To copy a set of remote CLI settings:

Go to the CLI Settings Library (SETTINGS menu > Configuration Management > CLI Settings Library).
CLI Settings Library displays.

Tip: By default, the dialog displays all remote CLI settings currently configured. You can filter this list by selecting a specific device by which to filter.
Click Copy. The New Settings: Copy of ... dialog appears.
Enter a unique Description for the settings. This description differentiates it from other settings in the Remote CLI Settings library.
To add an IP address, or another OID, click 'add' (). Add Key dialog appears. Alternatively, select an existing key from the list and click 'edit' () to modify it, or click 'delete' () to remove it from the list of keys.
If you add or modify a key, select the Key Type that you want to add, either oid or ip. If you choose to map the settings to an OID, or group of OIDs, the settings apply to any device with that OID that uses the SSH or Telnet credentials associated with the settings you are configuring. If you choose to map the settings to a specific IP address, the settings only apply to the device with the specific IP address you specify.
Enter the appropriate OID or IP address.
Click OK to add the new key and to return to the settings configuration dialog.
Ensure that the correct Protocol is selected, ssh, telnet, or All.
Ensure that all prompt, response and terminator boxes are specified appropriately. For more information about these boxes, see About CLI Settings.
Note: Boxes that indicate specific settings override the default settings. If boxes are blank, Configuration Management uses either the default Telnet or SSH settings for that box.
Click OK to save copied/modified settings to the Remote CLI Settings library.

If none of the existing system and/or previously-configured user settings can serve as a template for settings that you need, you can configure entirely new settings.

To remove settings from the Remote CLI Settings library:

From the CLI Settings Library, select a CLI settings record.
Click on Delete.

Note: You cannot remove pre-defined, system settings from the Remote CLI Settings library.
