Overview

The Serial Console Interface is a tool which connects to the Exinda appliance's Command Line Interface (CLI) from the Web UI. This tool connects to the appliance via the web interface and does not require SSH access. 

This article describes the process to access the CLI from the serial console interface.

Process 

1. On your browser, open the Exinda Web UI: https://<Exinda_IP_address>
2. Enter the username and password.
3. Click Login.
4. Navigate to Configuration > System > Tools > Console.
5. Type the appliance username and password at the prompts. Now you will be able to do the following:
   
   
   • Enter privileged EXEC (enable) mode by entering the following command at the prompt :
     <hostname> > enable
     The <hostname> # prompt appears.
     
     
   • Enter the configuration (config) mode by entering the following command at the prompt:
     <hostname> # configure terminal
     The <hostname> (config) # prompt appears.
   
   

Here is where you can enter the CLI commands to configure or troubleshoot the appliance.
