User Interfaces
3.1
Command Line Interface (CLI)
MLNX-OS® is equipped with an industry-standard CLI. The CLI is accessed through SSH or
Telnet sessions, or directly via the console port on the front panel (if it exists).
Refer to the
MLNX-OS Command Reference Guide
for complete set of commands, syntax and
examples.
3.1.1
CLI Modes
The CLI can be in one of following modes, and each mode makes available a certain group (or
level) of commands for execution. The different CLI configuration modes are:
Table 11 - CLI Modes and Config Context
Mode/Context
Description
Standard
When the CLI is launched, it begins in Standard mode. This is the
most restrictive mode and only has commands to query a
restricted set of state information. Users cannot take any actions
that directly affect the system, nor can they change any configu-
ration.
Enable
The
enable
command moves the user to Enable mode. This
mode offers commands to view all state information and take
actions like rebooting the system, but it does not allow any con-
figurations to be changed. Its commands are a superset of those
in Standard mode.
Config
The
configure terminal
command moves the user from
Enable mode to Config mode. Config mode is allowed only for
user accounts in the “admin” role (or capabilities). This mode has
a full unrestricted set of commands to view anything, take any
action, and change any configuration. Its commands are a super-
set of those in Enable mode. To return to Enable mode, enter
exit
or
no configure
.
Note that moving directly from/to Standard mode to/from Config
mode is not possible.
Config Interface Management
Configuration mode for management interface mgmt0, mgmt1
and loopback.
Config interface ethernet
Configuration mode for Ethernet interface.
Config Interface Port Channel
Configuration mode for Port channel (LAG).
Config Vlan
Configuration mode for VLAN.
Any Command Mode
Several commands such as “show” can be applied within any
context.
