Chapter 3: CLI Commands
About the CLI
The Avaya G450 Media Gateway CLI is accessible directly via the serial console port, remotely
via Secure Shell (SSH), or via the modem PPP interface. The CLI is command-line driven and
does not have any menus. The CLI commands available, and the functions of those commands,
depend on the context you are in when you issue the command. For a complete discussion of
contexts, refer to
Contexts on page 40.
This chapter lists all the CLI commands for the Avaya G450 Media Gateway, arranged
alphabetically within topics.
Logging in to the CLI
To login to the CLI, you need a username and a password. Initially, there is only one user,
named
root (with password root ), on the system. It is recommended to change the root user
password to prevent unauthorized entry into the system. The root user has Administrative
privileges. You can add more users with the
username
command.
When you open the CLI interface, you are prompted for a username. Enter the username and
press
Enter . Enter your password at the password prompt, and press Enter . Once you have
logged in, you can execute all the CLI commands that are permitted at your user level. For a full
discussion of user levels, refer to
User levels on page 39.
