When the previous keyword is specified, the previous context is displayed. This is the
context entered by the CLI parser upon execution of the exit command. The current context
of the CLI is not affected by the pwc command.
Parameters previous — displays the previous working context
sleep
Syntax sleep [seconds]
Context <global>
Description This command causes the console session to pause operation (sleep) for 1 second (default)
or for the specified number of seconds.
Parameters seconds — specifies the number of seconds for the console session to sleep, expressed
as a decimal integer
Values 1 to 100
Default 1
ssh
Syntax ssh host [-l username] [-v ssh-version] [router router-instance | service-name service-
name]
Context <global>
Description This command opens a Secure Shell (SSH) session with another host.
This command initiates a client SSH session with the remote host and is independent from
the administrative or operational state of the SSH server. However, to be the target of an SSH
or SFTP session, the SSH server must be operational.
Quitting SSH while in the process of authentication is accomplished by either executing a
<Ctrl-c> or "~." (tilde and dot) assuming the “~” is the default escape character for the SSH
session.
Parameters host — the remote host for an SSH session. The IP address, DNS name (if DNS name
resolution is configured), or the user name at the IP address can be specified.
For IPv6 addresses, including the “-interface” for the link local address is mandatory;
otherwise, “-interface” is omitted. For example, if the user is alu_admin and the IPv6
hostname consists of FE80::9876:DEEF:154D along with the link local interface
“ies1_chicago”, then the full command would be (note the “-” between the ipv6-
address and the interface):
ssh -l alu_admin FE80::9876:DEEF:154D-ies1_chicago
Values [user@]hostname: 255 characters maximum
