Chapter 2 Using the ACS Command Line Interface
Accessing the ACS CLI
To log in to ACS server and access the CLI, use an SSH secure shell client or the console port. You can
log in from:
•
A PC running Windows XP/Vista.
•
A PC running Linux.
•
An Apple computer running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
•
Any terminal device compatible with VT100 or ANSI characteristics. On the VT100-type and ANSI
devices, you can use cursor-control and cursor-movement key. Keys include left arrow, up arrow,
down arrow, right arrow, Delete, and Backspace. The CLI senses the use of the cursor-control keys
and automatically uses the optimal device characteristics (see
Supported Hardware and Software
Platforms, page 2-4
, for more information).
To exit the CLI, use the
exit
command from the EXEC mode. If currently in one of the configuration
modes and you want to exit the CLI, enter the
end, exit, Ctrl-d
or
Ctrl-z
command to return to the EXEC
mode, and then enter the
exit
command (see
EXEC Mode, page 2-6
).
