CLI Overview
The HP Fabric Switch can be used without being managed. If necessary, you can manage the
switch using its Command Line Interface (CLI) - a text-based interface accessible through a direct
serial connection, Telnet over IP, or SSH over IP. Refer to “Manage the System” on page 63.
Using the CLI
This section provides a general overview of using the CLI. It describes how to start a CLI session,
how to enter commands, and how to display online help. Details about individual commands
are presented in Appendix B - HP Fabric Switch Commands.
This section describes the following:
• “Starting A CLI Session”
• “Entering CLI Modes”
• “Exiting CLI Modes”
• “Using Command Completion ”
• “Command Abbreviation”
• “Quick Help”
• “Command-Line Editing”
• “Exiting the CLI Session”
• “Specifying the Card/Port ”
Starting A CLI Session
The CLI login prompt is automatically displayed in a terminal window when you connect the
serial port of a computer to the Serial-Console port. It is also displayed when you Telnet or SSH
to a configured Ethernet Management port. Log in as the user with the appropriate permissions
for what you wish to do. The user account you use determines your level of access. Super, admin,
and guest are the default user accounts.
Table 6-2 Privilege Level
PrivilegesUser Log-in
The super user has unrestricted privileges. Use this account for initial configuration. This user may
view and modify a configuration, as well as administer user accounts and access privileges. This
user configures the console and management ports for initial chassis setup. The default password
is super.
super
The admin user has general read-write privileges. This user may view and modify the current
configuration. However, the admin user can change only its own user information, such as the
admin password. The default password is admin.
admin
The guest user has read-only privileges. This user may only view the current configuration. The
guest user cannot make any changes during the CLI session. This user is disabled by default. The
default password is guest.
guest
In addition to the default user accounts described above, there are administrative “roles” that
may be assigned to individual user accounts. Roles allow granular levels of privileges. For
example, you can create separate HP Fabric administrators, who only have access to specific
subsystems. The system combines multiple roles with read and read-write access for flexible
control.
The unrestricted administrator (super) is responsible for assigning these roles. Network
administrators are given read-only and read-write access to each of the three network types. The
different roles are:
