Starting the SRC CLI

When you log in to the CLI, the privileges for your user account determine which commands and configuration statements you can access. A login account with superuser privileges gives a user access to all commands and statements.

To log in to a C Series Controller and start the CLI:

1. Log in to a C Series Controller through an account that has super-user privileges.

   Note: If you enter an incorrect password, you are prompted to enter an LDAP password.

   For example, to log in to a C Series Controller through an SSH session:

   # ssh my_admin@my_cseries_platform
2. Start the CLI:

   root# cli
   --- SRC CLI 7.0 build CLI.B.7.0.0.006
   (c) 2005-2006 Juniper Networks Inc.
   user@host>

   The > command prompt shows you are in operational mode. Later, when you enter configuration mode, the prompt will change to #.
