CLI login

Overview

The CLI enables you to interact with a device by typing text commands. At the CLI, you can instruct your
device to perform a given task by typing a text command and then pressing Enter to submit it to your
device. Compared with the graphical user interface (GUI) where you can use a mouse to perform
configuration, the CLI allows you to input more information in one command line.
You can log in to the device at the CLI through the console port, Telnet, SSH, or modem.
• By default, you can log in to a device through the console port without any authentication, which
