# 4.5 Command-line

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol to access the router’s command-line interface. The EZR24 router offers various ways to access the command-line interface.

## **Web Terminal** <a href="#web-terminal" id="web-terminal"></a>

After accessing the router, go to `System` > `Terminal`. Input the default username `root` and the router password. You will then receive the welcome message on the web terminal interface.

*\* The web terminal is unavailable under the Traversal Cloud mode.*&#x20;

* Then type in the router’s admin password and press `Enter`  to finish the login process.

If the router has changed configurations, you might need to clear the stored SSH key information with this command. `ssh-keygen -R 192.168.20.1`.
