Chapter 2
Using the ACS Command Line Interface
Understanding Command Modes
Note
You cannot delete the default
acsadmin
user. You can, however, create other users with admin
privileges from the web interface.
After resetting your password and installing a valid license, use the default username (
acsadmin
) and
changed password, or the username and password for a newly created admin user, to access the ACS CLI
in the ACS Configuration mode.
When in the ACS Configuration mode, ACS expects ACS configuration commands.
From this level, you can enter commands directly into the ACS configuration. To obtain a list of
commands in this mode, enter a question mark (
?
). For example:
acs/admin(config-acs)#
?
You can enter
exit
or press
Ctrl-d
to leave the ACS configuration mode and return to the EXEC mode.
Configuration Mode
Use the Configuration mode to make changes to the existing configuration. When you save the
configuration, these commands remain across ACS server reboots, but only if you run either of these
commands:
copy running-config startup-config
write memory
To enter the Configuration mode, run the
configure
or
configure terminal (conf t)
command in the
EXEC mode. When in the Configuration mode, ACS expects configuration commands.
For example:
acs/admin#
configure
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL-Z.
acs/admin(config)#
(configuration mode)
From this level, you can enter commands directly into the ACS configuration. To obtain a listing of
commands in this mode, enter a question mark (
?
):
acs/admin(config)#
?
The Configuration mode has several configuration submodes. Each of these submodes places you deeper
in the prompt hierarchy. When you enter
exit
, ACS backs you out one level and returns you to the
previous level. When you enter
exit
again, ACS backs you out to the EXEC level.
Note
In the Configuration mode, you can alternatively enter
Ctrl-z
instead of the
end
or
exit
command.
Configuration Submodes
In the configuration submodes, you can enter commands for specific configurations. For example:
acs/admin#
config t
acs/admin(config)#
interface GigabitEthernet 0
acs/admin(config-GigabitEthernet)#
