The Infoblox CLI allows you to configure and monitor the appliance using a small set of Infoblox commands. There are some tasks, such as resetting the appliance, that you can only do through the CLI. You can access the Infoblox 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 access—that access — that is, SSHv2 (Secure Shell version 2) access—through access — through the Infoblox GUI or CLI, and then access the CLI from a remote location using an SSHv2 client. (For more information, refer to the NIOS Administrator Guide.)
