Command Line Interface
This chapter describes how to use the SCE platform Command-Line Interface (CLI), its hierarchical
structure, authorization levels and its help features. The Command-Line Interface is one of the SCE
platform management interfaces.
The CLI is accessed through a Telnet session or directly via the console port on the front panel of the
SCE platform. When you enter a Telnet session, you enter as the simplest level of user, in the User Exec
mode.
The SCE platform supports up to eleven concurrent CLI sessions; five sessions initiated by Telnet
connection, five sessions via SSH connection, and one session on the console port.
