CLI Basics
The OS10 command-line interface (CLI) is the software interface you use to access a device running the software — from the console or
through a network connection. The CLI is an OS10-specic command shell that runs on top of a Linux-based operating system kernel. By
leveraging industry-standard tools and utilities, the CLI provides a powerful set of commands that you can use to monitor and congure
devices running OS10.
User accounts
OS10 denes two categories of user accounts — use admin for both the username and password to log into the CLI, or use
linuxadmin to log into the Linux shell.
Key CLI features
Consistent
command names
Commands that provide the same type of function have the same name, regardless of the portion of the system
on which they are operating. For example, all show commands display software information and statistics, and all
clear commands erase various types of system information.
Available commands Information about available commands is provided at each level of the CLI command hierarchy. You can enter a
question mark (?) at any level and view a list of the available commands, along with a short description of each
command.
Command
completion
Command completion for command names (keywords) and for command options is available at each level of the
hierarchy. To complete a command or option that you have partially entered, press the Tab key or the Spacebar. If
the partially entered letters being a string that uniquely identies a command, the complete command name
appears. A beep indicates that you have entered an ambiguous command, and the possible completions display.
Completion also applies to other strings, such as lenames, interface names, usernames, and conguration
statements.
