Connect to the Console of the Application

Use the following procedure to connect to the console of the application.

Procedure

Step 1

Connect to the module CLI using a console connection or a Telnet connection.

connect module slot_number { console | telnet}

To connect to the security engine of a device that does not support multiple security modules, always use 1 as the slot_number .

The benefits of using a Telnet connection is that you can have multiple sessions to the module at the same time, and the connection speed is faster.

Example:


Firepower# connect module 1 console
Telnet escape character is '~'.
Trying 127.5.1.1...
Connected to 127.5.1.1.
Escape character is '~'.
