CLI
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-only mechanism for interacting with a computer operating system or software by typing commands to perform specific tasks. It is a critical part of the deployment of the SRA Virtual Appliance, where basic networking needs to be configured from the console. The CLI is also supported on the SRA 4600, 4200, 1600, and 1200 appliances.
While the SRA physical appliance products have a default IP address and network configuration that requires a client’s network settings to be reconfigured to connect, the network settings in an existing VMware virtual environment might conflict with the SRA appliance defaults. The CLI utility remedies this by allowing basic configuration of the network settings when deploying the SRA Virtual Appliance.
Note The Dell SonicWALL SRA 6.0 CLI allows configuration of only the X0 interface on the SRA 4600/4200/1600/1200 or SRA Virtual Appliance.
For the SRA physical appliances, console access is achieved by connecting a computer to the serial port. Use the following settings:
• Baud: 115200
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
For the SRA Virtual Appliance, the following login prompt is displayed after the firmware has fully booted:

sslvpn login:
In the following examples, user input is highlighted in bold to indicate text entered by the user.
To access the CLI, login as admin. The password is the same as the password for the admin account that is configured on the appliance. The default is password.
sslvpn login: admin
Password: password
If the incorrect password is entered, the login prompt is displayed again. If the correct password is entered, the CLI is launched.
For hardware and virtual appliances, basic system information and network settings are displayed along with the main menu, as in the example below:

The main menu has four selections:
1. Setup Wizard – This option launches a simple wizard to change the basic network settings, starting with the X0 IP Address, X0 subnet mask, default gateway, primary and secondary DNS, and the hostname. The following CLI output illustrates an example where each field is changed:
X0 IP Address (default 192.168.200.1): 192.168.200.201
X0 Subnet Mask (default 255.255.255.0): 255.255.0.0

If a field is not filled out, the prior value is retained, allowing you to change only a single field. After each field has been prompted, the new network settings are shown and a confirmation message is given for the user to review and verify the changes before applying them. The following shows the result when you save the changes:
