Utilizing the Command Line Interface Chapter 2
Managing the XSR
Accessing the Initial Prompt
The CLI is protected by security. Before you can access EXEC mode, you must
enter a valid password. This mode lets you test basic connectivity of the XSR
but does not permit you to change or monitor the router’s configuration.
Access to enhanced commands is permitted only if you enter Privileged
EXEC mode by entering
enable. You can logout at any time by entering exit
while in EXEC mode.
Refer to Table 1 for session limits.
The
show limits command defines all system software and memory limits
as well as values and memory utilized. Refer to the XSR CLI Reference Guide
for more details.
Managing the Session
A first-time CLI session is set up with default attributes; e.g., the session is set
to time out after 1800 seconds of idle time. You can reconfigure session values
such as create users, passwords, and login banners, and set Telnet and Web
access. Refer to the XSR CLI Reference Guide for details about these commands.
CLI Editing Rules
To use the CLI efficiently, be aware of the following rules:
 Case-sensitivity: CLI commands are not case-sensitive. For example,
you can enter either
SHOW VERSION or show version to display the
XSR's software revision. But, some parameters may be case sensitive.
For example, entering
snmp-server community public is different
from
snmp-server community PUblic
