General Features
The following are the general features of the CLI:
•
The CLI uses the user and password authentication inherited from the Web
application. The same user and password that is used for the Web application
is accepted by the CLI.
•
The CLI checks the user permission properties (Administrator, Read/Write,
Read-Only) during command execution. These properties are inherited from
the Web application.
•
The CLI commands are ordered in a hierarchical tree structure. To move
between tree nodes, you specify the name of the next node. The current
hierarchy is specified by the prompt.
•
Help is available for each command.
•
The commands are case sensitive.
•
The CLI allows command abbreviation. This means that a unique command
prefix can be used instead of writing the full command name.
