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
