11.2. Command Line Interface (CLI) Overview

In switches using L2 stack (Webstax ), CLI is avaialble over serial. In Switches using L3 stack (Istax), CLI is available over serial and SSH connection.

The ICLI (Industrial Command Line Interface`w) is a comprehensive management interface to the device. It is the only management interface accessible on the serial console; even without network connectivity, the device can be managed using a serial connection.

Press Enter one or more times until the Username: prompt appears. Type admin and press Enter. At the Password: prompt press Enter as there is no password required. This completes the login sequence and displays the prompt, ‘#’.

Username: admin
Password:
#

At this point, the admin user is operating at the highest privilege level, level 15. This means full control over the device and its configuration. The ICLI implements several hundred commands ranging from the very simple to the very complex. It is therefore imperative that the user can be assisted in entering syntactically correct commands as well as discovering relevant commands. These objectives are supported by the context sensitive help features.

Key	Operation
?	Show next possible input and description
??/Ctrl-Q	Show syntax of possible command(s)
TAB	Show next possible input without description or expand current word if it is unambiguous

The context-sensitive help only displays commands that are accessible at the current session privilege level.
