CLI access

Last Updated : Apr 02, 2020 |

You can use CLI, a command prompt interface, to configure Branch Gateway and media modules.

You can use the following methods to access CLI:

  • SSH to establish a secure remote session with the network, Services port, or dial up PPP network connection. SSH is enabled by default.

  • Telnet connection with the network, Services port, or dial up PPP network connection. Telnet is disabled by default.

If you have a service contract with Avaya Services, Avaya Support engineers can connect remotely to service Branch Gateway with Telnet and SSH sessions. For higher security, you can configure Branch Gateway to authenticate remote service logins using the Enhanced Access Security Gateway (EASG) authentication instead of the password authentication.
