Overview
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is the software tool used to provide users with administrative control of the CMTS after
hardware installation is complete — whether from the console or through a remote network connection.
The CLI is a straightforward command interface in which commands are typed on a single line and executed by pressing the
Enter key. The CLI provides command help, command completion, and keyboard sequences that enable a user to navigate
a command line and scroll through a buffer that contains recently entered commands. The CLI enables system operators to
enter the commands needed to add, manage, display, and remove hardware modules, networks, users, and other system
entities.
Access Levels and Modes
The CMTS CLI supports two main access levels: User EXEC and Privileged EXEC.
