Chapter 1: User Levels and Contexts

The G450 Command Line Interface (CLI) consists of commands that are divided into logical

contexts. These contexts enable you to view and configure the Avaya G450 Media Gateway

more efficiently. A context can be a particular interface of the media gateway, or it can be a

specific function with all its related commands.

The contexts you can enter and the commands you can access, depend on the user level from

which you log in to the CLI.

For example, you can use all show commands in User mode. To configure the Avaya G450

Media Gateway, you must be in Supervisor or Privileged mode.

After logging in, type tree to see a list of all the commands that are accessible at your user

level. Type help to see the list of commands available in the current context.

The following are the user levels that control access to the various parts of the CLI:

User level is a general access level used to

display system parameter values. This level

complies with the Read Only restrictions level.

Privileged level is used to access configuration

options. This level complies with the Read and

Write restrictions level.

Supervisor level is used for highly secured

operations, such as adding a new user account,

showing the PPP chap secret, and setting the

device policy manager source.

Services includes the craft and dadmin logins and

other remote services logins. Except for the

dadmin login, these accounts are protected with

the use of an authentication file and the use of a

challenge/response algorithm for generating the

appropriate password.
