Protocol
The CLI uses a text TCP socket based protocol that can be accessed via the «telnet» command. End of line characters are UNIX based. There is no encryption implemented over the socket connection. The default socket is 2700.
On connection to the CLI server, the client first receives a login query for user name and password. An error message «wrong username or password!» is sent if the authentication fails.
The maximum number of concurrent connections to the CLI sever is by default configured as 5. Only a single connection can be made to any NE.
Please note:
No session timeout is implemented in the CLI. The CLI connection is closed
→ when the «quit» command is issued
→ when the socket is closed on the client side
→ when the FOXMAN-UN core is stopped.
