Avocent ACS 6000 CLI Navigation

4 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Command Reference Guide

For example, in the Web Manager, user configuration is done when an administrator selects

Appliance Settings - Users - Local Accounts - User Names to get to the User Names screen. To

navigate to the equivalent configuration level in the CLI, an administrator would navigate in the

CLI with the cd command followed by the path: cd appliance_settings/users/local_accounts/

user_names.

Administrators should log into the CLI in one window and log into the Web Manager in another

window to see how the menu options in the Web Manager map to the navigation options in the

CLI. Configuration with the CLI also requires mastery of the following information on CLI

navigation and of the CLI commands shown in CLI Command Set on page 7.

CLI Navigation

The CLI navigation options are in a nested tree configuration.

NOTE: When a command line is shown in an example, and the step starts with “Enter,” or when a syntax

example is given, the user should type the command as shown and then press Enter. The Enter key is not

shown in command line examples unless needed for clarity.

When a user logs in the CLI, the prompt indicates the user is at the /units level.

--:- units cli->

No parameters can be set at this level of the navigation tree.

At any CLI prompt at any level, if you type cd and press Tab Tab, the navigation options (path

elements) for that level are listed. Different options appear for administrators and for authorized

users.

• When an administrator types the cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the units prompt,

the following Units navigation options (path elements) appear.

--:- units cli-> cd<Tab><Tab>

active_sessions/ monitoring/ topology/

appliance_settings/ overview/ user_profile/

information/ power_management/

• When a regular user types the cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the units prompt, the

following Units navigation options appear.

--:- units cli-> cd<Tab><Tab>

overview/ power_management/ topology/ user_profile/

Enter cd <one_or_more_path_elements> to move down one or more levels of the navigation tree:

--:- units cli-> cd appliance_settings
