Operation Modes By default the CLI is an interactive application. When you are logged into the CLI, the CLI waits for a command to be entered and then responds to it. This singleoperation mode is known as interactive mode. The following example shows interactively starting a telnet session, logging into the CLI, executing a command to show free (available) disks, and exiting the CLI: $: telnet 172.22.5.55 Login: monitor Password: ******** product System Name: Test System Location: Lab Version: version # show disks free ID Serial# Vendor Rev.
