Configuration Tasks Performed With the CLI
The navigation structure of the CLI mirrors that of the Web Manager. Options and parameters are
also the same, except that spaces in Web Manager options and parameters are replaced with
underscores (_), as in: system_tools. Examples that show how to select an option in the Web
Manager use a dash surrounded by two spaces ( - ). In the CLI, two similar options in a path are
separated by a forward slash (/).
For example, in the Web Manager, user confi
guration is done when an administrator selects Users -
Local Accounts - User Names to get to the User Names screen. To navigate to the equivalent
configuration level in the CLI, an administrator would use the cd command followed by the path:
cd /users/local_accounts/user_names.
Administrators should log into the CLI in one window and log into the Web Manager in another
window
to see how the menu options in the Web Manager map to the navigation options in the
CLI.
CLI Navigation
The CLI navigation options are in a nested tree configuration.
NOTE: When a command line is shown in an example, and the step starts with “Enter,” or when a syntax
example is given, the user should type the command as shown and then press Enter. The Enter key is not
shown in command line examples unless needed for clarity.
When a user logs in the CLI, the prompt indicates the user is at the / level.
--:- / cli->
No parameters can be set at this level of the navigation tree.
At any CLI prompt at any level, if you type
cd and press Tab Tab, the navigation options (path
elements) for that level are listed. Different options appear for administrators and for authorized
users.
• When an administrator types the
cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the / prompt, the
following navigation options (path elements) appear.
--:- / cli-> cd<Tab><Tab>
access/ change_password/ network/ system_tools/
active_sessions/ events_and_logs/ power_management/ users/
authentication/ monitoring/ system/
• When a regular user types the cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the / prompt, the
following navigation options appear.
--:- / cli-> cd<Tab><Tab>
access/ power_management/ change_password/
