• CLIhelp.xml
• configModifyScript128_1024_12000.txt
• configModifyScript512_48.txt

• cssi_sec_interfaces.jar
• cvcli
• CVCLI.bat
• CVCLI.properties
• CVCLI.txt
• CVCLIScripting.txt

Running the CLI
Modes of execution
There are two modes of CLI execution: interactive mode and batch mode.
Interactive mode
Use interactive mode (the default mode) to enter one command at a time. In this mode, the CLI provides a
command prompt. You enter commands one at a time until you end the session by typing exit.
For Windows hosts:
Go to <your_path>\cvcli and run cvcli.bat by entering cvcli.
A login window prompts you for a user name and password.
For UNIX hosts:
Go to <your_path>/cvcli and run cvcli.
A login window prompts you for a user name and password. For HP-UX hosts, bypass the login window
by entering cvcli -p <user>/<password>.
Batch mode
Use batch mode to execute a batch file containing multiple CLI commands. This is useful for submitting a
large number of commands. The session ends after the commands in the batch file have been executed.
Commands in a batch file are not executed in the order they are listed in the file. Instead, similar
commands are grouped together and executed together to increase speed and efficiency. For more
information about batch mode, see ”Batch processing” on page 185.
For Windows hosts:
Go to <your_path>\cvcli and enter cvcli -f <filename> where <filename> is the name
of an input file containing Command View CLI commands.
A login window prompts you for a user name and password.
For UNIX hosts:
Go to <your_path>/cvcli and enter cvcli -f <filename> where <filename> is the name
of an input file containing Command View CLI commands.
A login window prompts you for a user name and password. For HP-UX hosts, bypass the login window
by entering cvcli -p <user>/<password> -f <filename>.
