admin-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

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.
The CLI is also accessible through the RS232 serial port of the switch. Accessing
the CLI through the serial port never requires a login and password 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.
Commands and Functional Groups
The list of available commands can be accessed by typing
list
. To keep the list
short, the commands are grouped into functional groups, which are:

The Deprecated group contains CLI commands that have been replaced or
are to be removed. Please use the new command where appropriate.

Firmware:
Provides commands for updating the firmware via a File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server or Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) (if using SSH to access the
Bridge Module). The switch has the ability to store the location of the firmware
files for future upgrades. Additionally, the Firmware functional group includes
commands for viewing the current firmware revisions and for changing the
boot image.
