ISPPlanet Cache Review Series - InfoLibria DynaCache 220i

Command-Line Administration
All management occurs through a command line interface over serial connection or telnet. "NOC jocks" will be satisfied with this CLI, while others may look forward to a browser-based interface in the next release.

Two levels of password authentication control access to monitoring and configuration commands. Config sessions timeout after inactivity, but monitor sessions remain indefinitely. Telnet access can be disabled entirely, but not selectively by address or port. For secure telnet, purchase the Secure Remote manager ($995, not tested). This Secure Shell (SSH) server supports encryption and strong authentication, but also requires an SSH client on the admin's desktop.

The DynaCache uses typical CLI commands: "show", "list", "config", and "diag". Admins will appreciate control sequences that jump left, right, and back into history. Monitor sessions can invoke most show commands, such as "show system". To make changes, you must enter "enable configuration" and a second password.
