CLI login

Overview

The CLI enables interaction with a device via entered text commands.
At the CLI, instruct the device to perform a given task by entering a text command and pressing Enter to
submit it.
Compared to using a GUI with a mouse to perform configuration, the CLI allows entry of more
information in a single command line.
Log in to the device at the CLI through the console port, Telnet, or SSH.
By default, log in to a device through the console port without any authentication, which introduces

configure other login methods.
After logging in to the device through the console port, configure other login methods.
