NNCLI concepts
Nortel Networks Command Line Interface (NNCLI) is a text-based interface
used for switch configuration and management. A common command
line interface (CLI), NNCLI follows the industry standard used for device
management across Nortel products.
NNCLI command modes occur in order of increasing privileges, each
based on user logon permission level. Logon password determines logon
permission level.
You can access NNCLI directly through a console connection, remotely
through a dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a Telnet session.
You can use NNCLI interactively or use the configure network command to
load and execute NNCLI scripts, manually loading the script in the console
menu or automatically loading the script at startup. For more information
about automatic configuration download, see
file automatically using NNCLI" (page 56)
