The CLI allows a default of five users to be logged in at a time, but this number can be set from
zero to five users.
The system prompt can be any alphanumeric string up to 31 characters. Because this is a
user-defined variable, it is omitted from the rest of this documentation.
The CLI automatically logs you out without saving any changes after a short period of inactivity.
This automatic logout can be set from 0 (never log out), or from 1 to 160 minutes. (Use the CLI
command config serial timeout x, where x is a number between 0 and 160.)
You are now logged into the CLI.
