Connecting to the Command-Line Interface (CLI Procedure)

You use the command-line interface (CLI) to use CLI utilities, such as bypassStatus, scio, sctop, idp.sh; or Linux diagnostic commands, such as ethtool.

To connect to the command-line interface:

1. Use SSH to connect to the IP address or hostname for the management interface.
2. Log in as admin and enter su - to switch to root.
3. At the secure shell, define IDPDIR as follows:

   IDPDIR=/usr/idp 

   export IDPDIR

   Note: Bash is the default shell and bash commands are shown in the example. If you use a different shell, use the equivalent commands.
