Nortel SNA configuration and management tools

You can use a number of device and network management tools to configure the

Nortel SNAS 4050 and manage the Nortel SNA solution:

• Command Line Interface (CLI)

You must use the CLI to perform initial setup on the Nortel SNAS 4050 and to set up the Secure Shell (SSH) connection between the Nortel SNAS 4050 and the network access devices, and between the Nortel SNAS 4050 and the GUI management tool. You can then continue to use the CLI to configure and manage the Nortel SNAS 4050, or you can use the GUI.

The configuration chapters in this User Guide describe the specific CLI commands used to configure the Nortel SNAS 4050. For general information about using the CLI, see

Chapter 16, “The Command Line Interface,” on page 769 .
