1 How to Use the ACLI
The ACLI
The ACLI is an administrative interface that communicates with other components
of the Net-Net SBC. The ACLI is a single DOS-like, line-by-line entry interface.
The ACLI is modeled after industry standard CLIs. Users familiar with this type of
interface should quickly become accustomed to the ACLI.
Using the ACLI
You can access the ACLI either through a direct console connection, a Telnet
connection, or an SSH connection.
Privilege Levels There are two privilege levels in the ACLI, User and Superuser. Both are password-
protected.
• User—At User level, you can access a limited set of Net-Net SBC monitoring
capabilities. You can:
• View configuration versions and a large amount if statistical data for the
system’s performance.
• Handle certificate information for IPSec and TLS functions.
• Test pattern rules, local policies, and session translations.
• Display system alarms.
• Set the system’s watchdog timer.
• Set the display dimensions for your terminal.
You know you are in User mode when your system prompt ends in the angle
bracket (
>).
• Superuser—At Superuser level, you are allowed access to all system commands
and configuration privileges. You can use all of the commands set out in this
guide, and you can perform all configuration tasks.
You know you are in Superuser mode when your system prompt ends in the
pound sign (
#).
