11 Chapter 3: Avaya Command Line Interface fundamentals This chapter provides basic information to help you understand the Avaya Command Line Interface (ACLI) for configuring and managing an Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series. ACLI concepts Avaya Command Line Interface (ACLI) is a text-based interface you can use for switch configuration and management. A common command line interface (CLI), ACLI follows the industry standard for device management across Avaya products. ACLI command modes occur in order of increasing privileges, each based on user logon permission level. Logon password determines user logon permission level. You can access ACLI directly through a console connection, remotely through a dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a Telnet session. You can use ACLI interactively or you can load and run ACLI scripts using the configure network command, manually loading the script in the console menu, or automatically loading the script at startup. ASCII script table Avaya VSP 7000 Series provides a table mechanism to load an ASCII configuration file from a USB mass storage device, or from a TFTP/SFTP server on a switch or stack during boot. The table scripts which ASCII configuration file loads on boot. Each entry in the table contains the path to an ASCII configuration file that indicates one of the following ways the file downloads: From the network using the IP address and filename in BOOTP. From a TFTP/SFTP server with a specified IP and filename. From the USB with a specified filename and, if in the stack, the USB port of a given unit. For more information on the ASCII script table, see Getting Started with Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series, NN Using ACLI and EDM on Avaya VSP 7000 Series January

12 Avaya Command Line Interface fundamentals ACLI command modes ACLI command modes separate basic user tasks from control and management of the switch. The ACLI command modes are: User Executive Privileged Executive Global Configuration Interface Configuration Router Configuration Application Configuration ACLI command mode access is determined by access permission levels and password protection. If no password is set, you can enter ACLI in User Executive mode and perform the enable command to move to the next level, Privileged Executive mode. However, if you have read-only access, you cannot progress beyond User Executive mode, the default mode. If you have read-write access you can progress from the default mode through all of the available modes. User Executive mode is the default ACLI command mode and the initial access mode. Also known as exec mode, it is the most restrictive ACLI mode with only basic commands available for example, show, ping and logoff. User Executive commands are available in the other modes. Privileged Executive mode is an unrestricted mode that can display all switch settings. If you are logged on with write access, you can access all configuration modes and commands that affect switch operation from Privileged Executive mode. In Privileged Executive mode, also known as privexec mode, you can perform basic switch level management tasks; for example, downloading software images, setting passwords, and starting the switch. Privileged EXEC mode commands are also available in Global, Interface, and Router configuration modes. Global Configuration mode, also known as config mode, provides commands you can use to set and display general switch configurations such as IP address, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) parameters, Telnet access, and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN). 12 Using ACLI and EDM on Avaya VSP 7000 Series January 2014 Comments?

13 ACLI command modes Interface Configuration mode, also known as ifconfig mode, provides commands you can use to configure parameters for each port or VLAN such as speed, duplex mode, and rate limiting. Router Configuration mode, also known as config-router mode, provides commands you can use to configure routing parameters for Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). Application Configuration mode, also known as config-app mode, provides commands you can use to configure applications, for example, SLA Mon. With sufficient permission, you can use the rules in the following table to move between the command modes. Command mode and sample prompt User Executive 7024XLS> Privileged Executive 7024XLS# Global Configuration 7024XLS(config)# Interface Configuration 7024XLS(config-if)# Entrance commands No entrance command, default mode enable From Privileged EXEC mode, enter configure.
