NOTE:
You can disconnect a telnet session by typing <Ctrl>+]. This is particularly useful if the
normal telnet logout does not work.
CLI contexts
The CLI is divided into various contexts from which sets of related commands can be entered. Contexts
are nested in a hierarchy, with each context accessible from another context, called the parent context.
The top level of the CLI tree is called the general context. Each command has a context in which the
command must be used. You can only use a command in its proper context.
