The CLI allows the user to perform remote configuration and management tasks, that
in many respects mirrors the functionality of the Chassis Viewer GUI.
The CLI is accessed via a terminal attached to the RS232 port(s) or via the OOB
management port using Telnet and secure shell (SSH) of:
• The 12200 chassis
• The 12300 chassis
• The SEEB module(s) of the 12800 series
Accessing the CLI through the serial port does not require a login and password (unless
configured to do so) and defaults to administrator privileges. Providing access through
the serial port means that users will always have access to the switch, even if Telnet
and SSH are not functioning.
For a standalone switch, the user would Telnet to the IP address(es) of the unit. Once
connected, the CLI works as any telnet session does.
To access the CLI using Telnet and SSH, a login and password is required. There are
two user modes, operator and administrator with the following access privileges:
Operator
:
• Read only access.
Administrator
:
• Read and write Access.
• Reboot access.
• Can change operator and administrator passwords.
• Can disable user login and passwords. This would allow all users administrator-level
access without the need for a user name or password.
• Can view all current user sessions
• Can access all of the commands executed from any open operator session.
• Can log out any open user sessions
• Can send messages to the open user sessions
The CLI allows multiple users to be logged in simultaneously. However, some
commands will be locked to a user(s) if another user is executing the same command.
