2 Using the Command Line
Interface
This chapter describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Note
:
You can only access the console interface through the Master unit in the
stack.
Accessing the CLI
When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct connection
to the serverās console port, or via a Telnet or Secure Shell connection (SSH), the
switch can be managed by entering command keywords and parameters at the
prompt. Using the switch's command-line interface (CLI) is very similar to entering
commands on a UNIX system.
Console Connection To access the switch through the console port, perform these steps:
1. At the console prompt, enter the user name and password. (The default user
names are āadminā and āguestā with corresponding passwords of āadminā and
āguest.ā) When the administrator user name and password is entered, the CLI
displays the āConsole#ā prompt and enters privileged access mode
(i.e., Privileged Exec). But when the guest user name and password is entered,
the CLI displays the āConsole>ā prompt and enters normal access mode
(i.e., Normal Exec).
2. Enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.
3. When finished, exit the session with the āquitā or āexitā command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen displays:

CLI session with the ECS4620-28T is opened.
To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].
