2 Using the Command Line
Interface
This chapter describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI).
Accessing the CLI
When accessing the management interface for the switch over a direct connection
to the server’s 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 “motorola” and “guest” with corresponding passwords of “admin”
and “guest.”) When the administrator user name and password is entered, the
CLI displays the “Console#” prompt and enters privileged access mode
(i.e., Privileged Exec). But when the guest user name and password is entered,
the CLI displays the “Console>” 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 “quit” or “exit” command.
After connecting to the system through the console port, the login screen displays:

To end the CLI session, enter [Exit].
