Output
Output from the CLI commands is limited to the standard 80
columns supported by most Telnet interfaces. The output is
left-aligned.
Logging In and Logging Out
The CLI allows a single Telnet client to be connected to the switch. If
a Telnet client logs out or is inactive for 15 minutes, the client’s access
times out and another Telnet client may log in.
The Telnet client (user) must log in every time the director or switch
is restarted because the current user’s access is lost. Examples of a
restart include an initial program load (IPL) and any power-off
situation.
Types of Users
The CLI supports two user access rights: administrator and operator.
Administrators can use all the commands described in this
publication.
Operators can use only the
perf and show branches of the CLI
command tree (for example, the
perf.traffic and show.system
commands) with the following exceptions:
•
show.preferredPath
•
show.security
• show.thresholdAlerts
Operators can also execute the globally available commands (
login,
logout, and commaDelim).
Passwords and
Secrets
Some commands require the user to enter a password or secret before
the command can be executed.
Passwords can be ASCII characters in the range of 32 to 126.
Secrets can be any ASCII character (0-255) and are entered as follows:
