Blue Coat Filter 800

Using SSH, Telnet Or The Console

 

For this procedure you will be using the Command Line Interface (CLI) of your Blue Coat Web Security/Filter device using an SSH client (such as OpenSSH or Putty), Telnet or through the console port. We would recommend using either SSH (for remote connections) or using a direct connection to the console port. Telnet provides no encryption of the communications and therefore your authentication credentials and configuration would be vulnerable if a malicious user were to monitor your connection.

 

  1. Connect to the Blue Coat Web Security/ Filter using your favourite SSH client, Telnet or a direct console connection.

    NB: You may need to set the baud rate to the appropriate speed for your device. On our Blue Coat test device, the baud rate was 9600

  2. Press return 3 times when Management Console Started appears on the screen.

  1. Choose Option 1 Command Line Interface

  1. Logon using your administration authentication credentials.
