SCE 1000 2xGBE Release 2.0.10 User Guide
OL-7117-02 3-1
This chapter describes how to use the SCE 1000 Command Line Interface (CLI), its hierarchical
structure, authorization levels and its help features. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is one of
the SCE 1000 Platform management interfaces. The remainder of this manual describes how to
manage the SCE 1000 Platform using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
The CLI is accessed through a Telnet session or directly via the console port on the front panel of
the SCE 1000. When you enter a Telnet session, you enter as the simplest level of user, in the
User Exec mode.
The SCE 1000 supports up to six concurrent CLI sessions; five sessions initiated by Telnet
connection, and one session on the console port.
In this chapter and throughout the book, the procedures shown are examples of how to perform
typical SCE Platform management functions using the CLI. Because of the large number of
functions available, not every possible procedure is documented. For a complete listing of
available CLI commands for SCE 1000 administrators, see CLI Command Reference (on page A-
1). The various chapters throughout the manual give you examples of how to implement the most
common of these commands, as well as general information on the interrelationships between the
commands and the conceptual background of how to use them.
Step 3 This chapter contains the following sections:
• Authorization and Command Levels (Hierarchy) 3-1
• CLI Help Features 3-11
• Navigational and Shortcut Features 3-13
• CLI Scripts 3-15
Authorization and Command Levels (Hierarchy)
When using the CLI there are two important concepts that you must understand in order to
navigate:
• Authorization Level: Indicates the level of commands you can execute. A user with a simple
authorization level can only view some information in the system, while a higher level
administrator can actually make changes to configuration. Almost all of the procedures in this
manual require an Admin authorization level. See CLI Command Hierarchy.
