CUE access issues

[mcdonovan]

I have three version 7.0 CUE's I can't get session access via CLI.  GUI access is fine.  I get error stating interface needs an IP assigned: "IP address needs to be configured on interface Service-Engine0/0"

The current Service-Engine interface config points to G0/0, but that has no IP.  Anyone have any tricks to session into these without having to add an IP?

Error:
CUE#ser ser 0/0 session

It's not about tricking.

If you could take the time to read the user documentaion, or search (about 30 seconds), you would seen how a complete CUE configuration is done.

Thanks Paolo.  These CUEs are in production and were dropped on me yesterday, so I was really questioning if the previous vendor had been able to perhaps telnet to a TTY session on the router directly into the CUE (or maybe they didn't have CLI access).  Regardless, point taken, reading docs over now!

It is possible to TTY into CUE for CLI access, even when the router-side configuration is incomplete, as it happened in your case.
