Switch Command Line
Interface

Overview

This section details the usage of the Command Line Interface (CLI) feature for the
QLogic 12000 family of switches:
The QLogic 12300
The QLogic 12800 Series:
The CLI allows the user to perform remote configuration and management tasks,
which in many respects mirrors the functionality of the Chassis Viewer GUI.
The CLI is accessed via a terminal attached to the RS232 port(s) or via the OOB
management port using Telnet and secure shell (SSH) of:
The 12300 chassis
The SEEB module(s) of the 12800 series
Accessing the CLI through the serial port does not require a login and password
(unless configured to do so) and defaults to administrator privileges. Providing
access through the serial port means that users will always have access to the
switch, even if Telnet and SSH are not functioning.
For a standalone switch, the user would Telnet to the IP address(es) of the unit.
Once connected, the CLI works as any telnet session does.
To access the CLI using Telnet and SSH, a login and password is required. There
are two user modes, operator and administrator with the following access
privileges:
Operator:
D000103-000 E
12800-040
12800-120
12800-180
12800-360
Read only access.
