Task assignment
The following example shows how you find and execute a command for
changing the default setting of the timeout value for your SSH connection.
On delivery, this value is set to 5 minutes. This means that after this time
has elapsed, the CLI terminates the connection if no keys have been
pressed. You can set a value for this timeout in the range from 1 to 120
minutes.
Login to CLI
Login to CLI as described above (see on page 14 „Preparing the con-
nection“).
Finding the command mode
You are in the User Exec mode (see on page 22 „Mode-based command
hierarchy“).
Enter a question mark “?” to get a list of the commands available in this
mode (see fig. 8).
The corresponding command is located in a different mode. The
Privileged Exec mode provides a wider range of commands.
To switch to the Privileged Exec mode quickly and easily, you enter
“en” and a space. The CLI completes the command to “enable” (see
on page 34 „Data entry elements“). Execute the command with <En-
ter>. The command prompt changes from (Hirschmann Eagle) > to
(Hirschmann Eagle) #, thus informing you that you are now in the Priv-
ileged Exec mode.
Enter a question mark “?” to get a list of the commands available in this
mode (see fig. 9).
