1 CLI Management
1-1 Login
The command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based interface. Users can access the CLI through either a direct serial
connection to the device or a Telnet session. The default username and password to login into the Managed Switch are
listed below:
Username: admin
Password: <none>
Note: <none> means empty string
After you login successfully, the prompt will be shown as “<sys_name>#“ . See the following two figures. You will log in as
an administrator and have the privilege for setting the Managed Switch. If you log in a user (not the administrator), the
prompt will be shown as “<sys_name>>”. You can only set the system when you are logged in as administrator. Each
CLI command has its privilege.
1-2 Commands of CLI
The CLI is divided into several modes. If a user has enough privileges to run a particular command, the user has to
run the command in the correct mode. To see the commands of the mode, input “?” after the system prompt, then all
commands will be listed in the screen.
Commands that reside in the corresponding modes can run only in that mode. If a user wants to run a particular command,
the user has to change to the appropriate mode. The command modes are organized as a tree, and users start in enable
mode.
