Motorola RFS7000 Series, Reference Manual

Page: 21 / 588

Introduction
This chapter describes the commands used by the RFS7000 Series Command Line Interface (CLI). Access the
CLI by running a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the serial port at the front of the
switch, or by using telnet or secure shell (ssh) to access the switch over the network.
The default cli user is cli . The default username and password is admin and superuser, respectively.
1.1 CLI Overview
The CLI is used for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining Motorola devices. The CLI interface allows you to
execute commands, whether using a serial console or using remote access methods.
This chapter describes the basic features of the Motorola CLI and how to use them. Topics covered include an
introduction to command modes, navigation and editing features, help features, and command history
features.
The CLI is divided into different command modes. Each command mode has its own set of commands available
for configuration, maintenance and monitoring. The commands available at any given time depend on the
mode you are in. Enter a question mark (
? ) at the system prompt to view the list of commands available for
each command mode/instance.
Use specific commands to navigate from one command mode to another. The standard order is as follows:
USER EXEC mode; PRIV EXEC mode and GLOBAL CONFIG mode.
A session generally begins in USER EXEC mode, which is one of the two access levels of EXEC mode. For
security purposes, only limited subset of EXEC commands are made available in USER EXEC mode. This level
of access is reserved for tasks that do not change the configuration of the switch, such as determining the
current switch configuration.
