Command line overview

The Onboard Administrator CLI is available from the Onboard Administrator serial port, management port, service port or c3000 KVM Module option and provides access to all Onboard Administrator commands and information.

The CLI user must provide a valid username/password to log into Onboard Administrator. The CLI is available for both local user accounts and LDAP users. Two-factor authentication is not available for the CLI.

Access to the Onboard Administrator CLI from either the Onboard Administrator Ethernet management port or service port requires that telnet or SSH protocols are enabled on Onboard Administrator.

Access to the Onboard Administrator CLI from the c3000 KVM Module or Onboard Administrator serial port is always available independent of the telnet or SSH protocol setting.

The Onboard Administrator serial port must be used for Onboard Administrator firmware flash recovery or Administrator lost password recovery.

The Onboard Administrator serial port speed is fixed at 9600, N, 8, 1.
