Starting the CLI

To start the CLI:

1. Establish a connection with the device:
   • To access the device remotely from the network, enter the command you typically use to establish a remote connection (such as Telnet or ssh) using the device hostname.
   • To access the device through a management device attached to the console port, start the terminal application.
   • To access the device through the J-Web interface, select Diagnose>CLI Terminal in the J-Web interface. For more information, see the J-Web Interface User Guide.
2. Log in using your username and password.

   After you log in, you enter a UNIX shell.

3. Start the CLI.

   % cli

   user@host>

The presence of the angle bracket (>) prompt indicates the CLI has started. By default, the prompt is preceded by a string that contains your username and the hostname of the router.

To exit the CLI and return to the UNIX shell, enter the quit command.
