Menu basics

Introduction

The AOS CLI is used for viewing switch information and statistics. In addition, the administrator can use
the CLI for performing all levels of switch configuration.
To make the CLI easy to use, the various commands have been logically grouped into a series of menus
and submenus. Each menu displays a list of commands and/or submenus that are available, along with a
summary of what each command will do. Below each menu is a prompt where you can enter any
command appropriate to the current menu.
This chapter describes the Main Menu commands, and provides a list of commands and shortcuts that
commonly are available from all the menus within the CLI.

Main Menu

The Main Menu displays after a successful connection and login. The following table shows the Main
Menu for the administrator login. Some features are not available under the user login.
