Switch Command Line
Interface
Overview
This section details the usage of the Command Line Interface (CLI) feature for the
SilverStorm 9000 family of switches:
The SilverStorm 9024
The SilverStorm 9000 Multi-protocol Fabric Director (MPFD) Series:
SilverStorm 9020
SilverStorm 9040
SilverStorm 9080
SilverStorm 9120
SilverStorm 9240
The CLI allows the user to perform remote configuration and management tasks,
which in many respects mirrors the functionality of the Chassis Viewer GUI.
The CLI is accessed via a terminal attached to the switch spine module(s) RS232
port(s) or via the OOB management port using Telnet and secure shell (SSH). For
a standalone switch, the user would Telnet to the IP address(es) of the unit. Once
connected, the CLI works as any telnet session does.
To access the CLI, a login and password is required. There are two user modes,
operator and administrator with the following access privileges:
Operator
:
Read only access.
Administrator
:
Read and write Access.
Reboot access.
Can change operator and administrator passwords.
