Command Line Interface
Command Output All output from the CLI commands is limited to the standard 80
columns supported by most Telnet interfaces. The output is flush-left.
login The Command Line Interface allows a single Telnet client to be
connected to the switch. If a Telnet client logs out, or if after 15
minutes of inactivity the client’s access times out, another Telnet
client may log in. Also note that the Telnet client (user) must log in
any time the switch is restarted, because the current user’s access is
lost. Examples of a restart include an IPL and any power-off situation.
Syntax
login
Purpose This command allows a Telnet client to connect to the switch.
Description This command allows the user to log in with either Administrator or
Operator access rights. The default password for each is password.
A user who logs in with Administrator access rights can use all of the
commands described in this appendix. Operator access rights grant
permission to use only the show branch of the DS-32M2 CLI
command tree; for example, the show.system command.
The login command is called automatically by the CLI each time a
new Telnet session is activated, as well as each time new
administrator access rights are configured.
After the login command is issued, the
Username:
prompt
automatically appears. After a valid user name is entered, the
Password:
prompt automatically appears. After the corresponding
valid password is entered, the
Root>
prompt appears. At this prompt
the user enters any of the commands included in Table D-2 on
page D-6.
A user name and password can be set by the Administrator through
the config.security.userRights.administrator command or through
the config.security.userRights.operator command.
The CLI does not require that the user names and passwords set
through the CLI commands match those set through the switch’s
Embedded Web Server.
Parameters This command has no parameters.
