Chapter 3: Avaya Command Line Interface
fundamentals
User interface fundamentals
This chapter provides basic information to help you understand the interfaces you can use to
configure and manage an Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch. Available features depend on switch
model and configuration.
ACLI concepts
Avaya Command Line Interface (ACLI) is a text-based interface used for switch configuration
and management. A common command line interface (CLI), ACLI follows the industry standard
used for device management across Avaya products.
ACLI command modes occur in order of increasing privileges, each based on user logon
permission level. Logon password determines logon permission level.
You can access ACLI directly through a console connection, remotely through a dial-up modem
connection, or in-band through a Telnet session.
You can use ACLI interactively or use the configure network command to load and
execute ACLI scripts, manually loading the script in the console menu or automatically loading
the script at startup.
ACLI command modes
This section describes the use and purpose of ACLI command modes.
ACLI command modes separate basic user tasks from control and management of the
switch.
