Command Line Interface Overview The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a feature that provides an alternative to HP EFC Manager and HP Embedded Web Server (HP EWS) products for director and switch management capabilities. The CLI can only be used through a Telnet client session in an out-of-band management environment, using the Ethernet port in the director or switch. Although the primary use of the CLI is in host-based scripting environments, the CLI commands can also be entered directly at a command line. Any hardware platform that supports the Telnet client software can be used. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of switches with the use of scripts. Because the CLI is not an interactive interface, no checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts are displayed to guide the user through a task. If an interactive interface is needed, the HP EFC Manager or HP EWS products should be used instead of the CLI. 2 Command Line Interface Overview
