CLI Terminal Requirements

To access the CLI through the J-Web interface, your management device requires the following features:

SSH access—Enable Secure shell (SSH) on your system. SSH provides a secured method of logging in to the routing platform, to encrypt traffic so that it is not intercepted. If SSH is not enabled on the system, the CLI terminal page displays an error and provides a link to the Set Up Quick Configuration page that allows you to enable SSH. For more information, see Configuring Basic Settings on the Routing Platform.
Java applet support—Make sure that your Web browser supports Java applets.
JRE installed on the client—Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4 or later on your system. JRE is a software package that must be installed on a system to run Java applications. Download the latest JRE version from the Java Software Web site http://www.java.com/. Installing JRE installs Java plug-ins, which once installed, load automatically and transparently to render Java applets.

Note: The CLI terminal is supported on JRE version 1.4 and later only.
