CLI Overview

The command-line interface (CLI) to the ICIM supports monitoring and control of
the ICIM domain, which includes the ICIM itself, the host chassis, and all other
modules installed in the host chassis and other daisy-chained chassis.
The CLI is designed for use by craft operators as well as by remote monitoring
systems. To meet both needs, CLI accepts commands in either of two formats:
A modal format allows craft operators to first select one of four command

modes, and then make use of mode-specific monitoring or control commands
and help screens.
A non-modal format allows an operator or network management system to enter

all parameters for a particular control or monitoring command, including
command mode changes, on a single line.

CLI Command Modes

All CLI interactions occur in one of four command modes. Command modes affect
the scope of the commands entered as well as how they are interpreted.
