Introduction, Navigation and
Commands
The Cyclades ACS 6000 advanced console server is a 1U appliance that serves as a single point for access and administration of connected devices, such as target device consoles, modems and power devices. ACS 6000 console servers support secure remote data center management and out-of-band management of IT assets from any location worldwide.
On ACS 6000 advanced console servers, administration can be performed and connected devices can be accessed with the Command Line Interface (CLI) utility, with the Web Manager or with
DSView ® 3 management software (version 3.5.1 and greater). Multiple users and administrators can be logged into the console server and connected to ports at the same time.
This manual describes how to access and navigate the CLI utility and how to use it after the console server has been installed and assigned an IP address. For required additional information about actions users can perform, configuration options and tasks that an administrator needs to perform, and for how to install the console server and configure the IP address, see the Cyclades ACS 6000
Installation/Administration/User Guide.
Either the consoles of servers, external modems or Power Distribution Units (PDUs) can be connected to serial ports on the ACS 6000 advanced console server. Supported PDUs include
Avocent PM1000/2000/3000s, Cyclades PM IPDUs, Avocent SPC power devices and Server
Technology CDUs. Either a PDU or an external modem can be connected to the AUX/Modem port if the port is not factory-configured for an internal modem.
The figure that follows shows the console server ports, and Table 1.1 describes how they are
numbered (for use during configuration).

AUX/Modem Port (ttyM1 or ttyA1)
NOTE: If an internal modem is ordered and factory installed, this port is configured internally as a modem port. If an internal modem is not installed, the port is configured as an auxiliary port, and a PDU or an external modem can be connected to it. The figure shows an external modem connected.
Console Port
Chapter 1: Introduction, Navigation and Commands 3
Access Options and How to Log Into the CLI
The CLI utility can be accessed in the following ways:
• Through a local terminal or a computer that has a terminal emulation program connected to the console port of the console server with session settings of 9600, 8, N and 1, with no flow control.
• After the console server is connected to the network and has an IP address, it can be accessed by either of the following methods:
• By use of an SSH or Telnet client on a remote computer (if the SSH or Telnet protocol is enabled in the selected Security Profile).
• With the Web Manager - Overview - Appliance Session button.
NOTE: For details on the remote access methods and IP address configuration options, see the Cyclades ACS
6000 Installation/Administration/User Guide.
Administrators have full access to the CLI and to connected devices. An administrator can authorize regular users to access ports, manage power, manage data buffer storage and use one or more console server administration tools. Users can always change their own passwords.
To start the CLI:
1.
Access the CLI through the console port, with Telnet or SSH or through the Web Manager.
2.
Enter the username and password at the prompt. The cli-> prompt appears.
CLI 2.0 (<build date>)
--:- units cli->
NOTE: The default password for admin is avocent and for root is linux. The password for these users may have been changed during installation of the console server. If not, change the default root and admin passwords to avoid potential security breaches.
Configuration Tasks Performed With the CLI
NOTE: This manual provides some configuration procedures as examples of how to use the CLI; an administrator who wants to use the CLI for configuration should reference the installation/administration/user guide for more information.
The navigation structure of the CLI mirrors that of the Web Manager. Options and parameters are also the same, except that spaces in Web Manager options and parameters are replaced with underscores (_), as in: appliance_settings. Examples that show how to select an option in the Web
Manager use a dash surrounded by two spaces ( - ). In the CLI, two similar options in a path are separated by a forward slash (/).
4 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Command Reference Guide
For example, in the Web Manager, user configuration is done when an administrator selects
Appliance Settings - Users - Local Accounts - User Names to get to the User Names screen. To navigate to the equivalent configuration level in the CLI, an administrator would navigate in the
CLI with the cd command followed by the path: cd appliance_settings/users/local_accounts/ user_names .
Administrators should log into the CLI in one window and log into the Web Manager in another window to see how the menu options in the Web Manager map to the navigation options in the
CLI. Configuration with the CLI also requires mastery of the following information on CLI
navigation and of the CLI commands shown in CLI Command Set on page 7.
CLI Navigation
The CLI navigation options are in a nested tree configuration.
NOTE: When a command line is shown in an example, and the step starts with “Enter,” or when a syntax example is given, the user should type the command as shown and then press Enter. The Enter key is not shown in command line examples unless needed for clarity.
When a user logs in the CLI, the prompt indicates the user is at the /units level.
--:- units cli->
No parameters can be set at this level of the navigation tree.
At any CLI prompt at any level, if you type cd and press Tab Tab , the navigation options (path elements) for that level are listed. Different options appear for administrators and for authorized users.
• When an administrator types the cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the units prompt, the following Units navigation options (path elements) appear.
--:- units cli-> cd< Tab><Tab> active_sessions/ monitoring/ topology/ appliance_settings/ overview/ user_profile/ information/ power_management/
• When a regular user types the cd command and then presses Tab Tab at the units prompt, the following Units navigation options appear.
--:- units cli-> cd< Tab><Tab> overview/ power_management/ topology/ user_profile/
Enter cd <one_or_more_path_elements> to move down one or more levels of the navigation tree:
--:- units cli-> cd appliance_settings
Chapter 1: Introduction, Navigation and Commands 5
A prompt like the following appears at each level:
--:- appliance_settings cli->
NOTE: CLI commands are case sensitive.
At any level, you can press Tab Tab at the prompt to see the commands that can be entered at the current level.
---:- appliance_settings cli->< Tab><Tab>
? del ls quit set add exit opiepasswd refresh shell cd ftp passwd revert show commit help pwd scp
If you know the path, you can enter multiple path elements in a single command separated with forward slashes (/).
--:- units cli-> cd appliance_settings/ports/physical_ports/serial_ports/
--:- serial ports cli->
Enter cd ..
to move up one level of the navigation tree. Enter cd ../..
[ /..
] to move up multiple levels.
--:- serial ports cli-> cd ../..
--:- ports cli->
Autocompletion
Autocompletion allows you to type the first few letters of a command or navigation option and then press Tab . The rest of the name is filled in automatically if the letters typed are unique to one command or to a navigation option at that level. If the letters match more than one of the commands or navigation options for that level, the matching options are listed.
For example, if you type cd ov and press Tab at the CLI prompt from the /units level, the overview option will be completed.
--:- units cli-> cd ov <Tab>
--:- units cli-> cd overview
If you then press Enter , you are changed to the overview level, and the overview level prompt appears.
--:- overview cli->
The following example illustrates a case when more than one command matches the letters typed.
--:- units cli-> sh <Tab> shell show

Port Access and Configuration
Examples
19
By default, all serial ports and the AUX/Modem port are disabled. The administrator must enable and configure the ports before anyone can use them. Configuration of ports differs based on the type of connected device, which can be either a device console, a PDU or modem.
By default, all users can access all enabled and configured ports. The administrator must decide whether to restrict user access to ports by the assignment of authorizations to user groups. A user who is in an authorized group is referred to as an authorized user.
Some port configuration tasks are provided as examples of how to use the CLI. See the Cyclades
ACS 6000 Installation/Administration/User Guide for an overview of the tasks the administrator must do to configure restricted access to ports. For more information about how to follow the Web
Manager procedures in the CLI, see Configuration Tasks Performed With the CLI on page 3.
This section describes the following tasks related to port access, configuration, power management and where the tasks are performed in the CLI.
