The remote command line task manages a command-line interface to the remote system, on a management console.
You can have multiple remote command-line sessions active at the same time. You can have only one active remote command line session through a management server to a single system at a time.
You can use the remote command line window to establish a fully active command session with a system. A remote command line session is non-graphical, so a command line window opens when it is started.
When you connect to a system that is running UNIX® or Linux®, remote command line uses the secure shell (ssh) protocol. If the ssh server on the system does not respond, remote command line attempts to connect using the Telnet protocol.
For a system running IBM® i, remote command line uses only the Telnet protocol.
By default, remote command line uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). If you disable support for TCP sessions, remote command line uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
