The NIOS CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. Some tasks, such as resetting the appliance, can be done only through the CLI. You can access the NIOS CLI through a direct console connection from your management system to the Infoblox appliance. (For more information, see Console Port.) You can also enable remote console SSHv2 (Secure Shell version 2) access through the Grid Manager or CLI, and then access the CLI from a remote location using an SSHv2 client. (For more information, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.)
