Dell W-7005 AOS 6.4.x CLI Reference Guide - Page 24

CLI Access When you connect to the controller using the CLI, the system displays its host name followed by the login prompt. Log in using the admin user account and the password you entered during the Initial Setup on the controller (the password displays as asterisks). For example: (host) User: admin Password: ***** When you are logged in, the user mode CLI prompt displays. For example: (host) > User mode provides only limited access for basic operational testing such as running ping and traceroute. Certain management functions are available in enable (also called "privileged") mode. To move from user mode to enable mode requires you to enter an additional password that you entered during the Initial Setup (the password displays as asterisks). For example: (host) > enable Password: ****** When you are in enable mode, the > prompt changes to a pound sign (#): (host) # Configuration commands are available in config mode. Move from enable mode to config mode by entering configure terminal at the # prompt: (host) # configure terminal Enter Configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z When you are in basic config mode, (config) appears before the # prompt: (host) (config) # There are several other sub- command modes that allow users to configure individual interfaces, subinterfaces, loopback addresses, GRE tunnels and cellular profiles. For details on the prompts and the available commands for each of these modes, see Appendix A: Command Modes on page 2370. Command Help You can use the question mark (?) to view various types of command help. When typed at the beginning of a line, the question mark lists all the commands available in your current mode or sub-mode. A brief explanation follows each command. For example: (host) > ? enable logout ping traceroute Turn on Privileged commands Exit this session. Any unsaved changes are lost. Send ICMP echo packets to a specified IP address. Trace route to specified IP address. When typed at the end of a possible command or abbreviation, the question mark lists the commands that match (if any). For example: (host) > c? clear clock configure copy Clear configuration Configure the system clock Configuration Commands Copy Files 24 | The ArubaOS Command-Line Interface Dell Networking W-Series ArubaOS 6.4.x | User Guide
