Connecting Directly to an Appliance
ETEMS supports appliance-level tasks on appliances managed by ETEMS. You can connect directly to
an appliance’s command line interface (CLI) to perform troubleshooting and diagnostic tasks and
administrative functions.

Connecting to the Command Line Interface
From ETEMS you can connect directly to an appliance to issue CLI commands. Two types of commands
are available on most appliance models: show commands for diagnostics and troubleshooting, and
Administrator commands for appliance and user management. See the user manuals for your appliance
model for a list of commands and usage guidelines.
To connect to the appliance CLI:
1 Make sure that you can connect using the client available for your appliance model. ETEP appliances
use SSH to securely connect to the CLI. An SSH client is included with the EncrypTight installer.
2 In the Appliance Manager, click the target appliance in the Appliances view to select it.
3On the Tools menu, click SSH to connect to the appliance’s CLI.
4 Enter the user name and password to log in to the CLI as ops or admin. Once you are logged in, you
can issue all CLI commands available to your user type.
5 When you are finished, type exit to log out of the CLI.
Upgrading Appliance Software
Using ETEMS, you can download new software from an FTP server to one or many PEPs of the same
product family. For example, ETEMS can upgrade a mix of ETEP models, such as ET0010As,
ET0100As, and ET1000As, in a single operation.
When upgrading software on ETEP 1.6 and later appliances, you have the option of using FTP or SFTP
for secure file transfer. If you choose SFTP as the connection method, all of the selected appliances must
support SFTP.
Software upgrades on multiple appliances are performed in parallel. ETEMS can upgrade groups of 10
appliances at a time. If you select a larger number of appliances to upgrade, as each upgrade completes,
ETEMS starts upgrading one of the remaining appliances. This continues until upgrades have been
initiated on all of the selected appliances.
