1.1.2 Command Line Interface and Console
On the gateway two types of consoles are available:
• Standard CLI (Command Line Interface): this is used to configure and manage the system. It provides full
access to the system modules included in this manual.
• Debug console: this is a special console (also named simply as console), available to users with super-user
rights for access to hidden debug commands that are not available in the standard command line. Console
commands are not documented in this administration guide. Access to console is possible only from inside
a CLI session.
1.1.2.1 Access permissions to CLI
There are three CLI access levels (via local craft interface, telnet or SSH), each providing different levels of
allowed operations:
• Default user - can use CLI commands. Only “show” and “list” commands are available. Cannot access con-
sole commands.
• Engineer user - can use most of CLI commands without restriction. Cannot create or modify CLI users.
Cannot access console commands.
• Super user - can use all CLI commands without restriction. Can create or modify CLI users, changing their
passwords. Can access console commands without restriction.
The following table maps the user properties to the corresponding CLI credentials. User properties can be con-
figured via CLI commands by setting the user access level (default, engineer, administrator) and the mayconfigure
flag (enabled, disabled)
