CLI configuration 

What is CLI? 

The command line interface (CLI) enables you to interact with your device by typing text commands. At 

the CLI, you can instruct your device to perform a given task by typing a text command and then pressing 

Enter. Compared with a graphical user interface (GUI) where you can use a mouse to perform 

configuration, the CLI allows you to input more information in one command line.

Entering the CLI 

HP devices provide multiple methods for entering the CLI, such as through the console port, through Telnet, 
or through SSH. For more information, see the chapter “Logging in to the switch configuration.”
