Service Manual

• exec-command — to congure the exec commands on the system.
NOTE: Interactive CLIs (for example, clear counters, reload, and so on) are not supported via the REST API framework.
Also, the commands sent in XML payload are restricted to a maximum of 1000 characters length.
To execute REST-CLI on the device, the HTTP username and password needs the appropriate privilege. The REST-CLI request returns
HTTP/1.1 200 OK on a successful completion. All the other HTTP error codes are treated as failure. Multiple command tags are not
allowed inside the <input> tag.
The tree structure of the REST CLI is as follows:
module: dell
+--rw dell?
|
+--ro cli
+--ro input
| +--ro config-commands? string
| +--ro show-command? dell:show-cmd-str
| +--ro exec-command? dell:cli-cmd-str
+--ro output
+--ro command string
