Once logged in to the CLI, the Root menu (main menu) is displayed. The CLI incorporates a
menu-based interface featuring a list of menus and commands. Each menu offers a selection of
commands in a numbered list. Commands are entered at the command prompt. The command

few letters of the sub menu, a space, and then the first few letters of the command. For example, to view
system information under the Show sub-menu, type sh sys and press E
NTER.
