CLI command methods
Overview
An OSS client can send CLI commands to an NE using the methods listed in Table 9-7, CLI command methods . The NFM-P uses the CLI credentials in the associated mediation policy to gain CLI access. For some devices, you can use a site user profile to restrict the CLI commands that are available to a user.
Before executing the commands in a CLI script, the NFM-P executes the “environment no more” command to disable CLI output pagination. You must ensure that the “environment more” command is permitted in the site user profile.
