About the Guide
The ArubaOS command line interface (CLI) allows you to configure and manage your Mobility Access
Switch. The CLI is accessible from a local console connected to the serial port on the Mobility Access
Switch or through a Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH) session from a remote management console or workstation.
