Overview
The command-line interface is a secondary service interface in IP Fabric VM which serves troubleshooting and testing purposes. For example, for testing authentication credentials from the specific IP address of IP Fabric VM, in case of address-restricted access. The CLI interface is the main tool in servicing the system by the support teams.
The command line also allows the use of the standard networking tools, such as telnet
, ssh
, traceroute
, ping
or tcpdump
.
From 5.0
release, the osadmin
account is no longer restricted to chroot
only and has access to the whole system.
The osadmin
account has sudo
rights with the osadmin
password and a standard 5 minutes retention.
Note
Password cannot be changed via cloud-init
or passwd
, please run command nimpee-net-config -t
to change osadmin
password.
Warning
Any action on the command-line interface (CLI) using the root
, osadmin
, or autoboss
account may cause irreversible detrimental changes to the product. Actions taken without direct communication with the IP Fabric Support or Solution Architect teams can render the system unusable.
