Menu basics
Introduction
The AOS CLI is used for viewing switch information and statistics. In addition, the administrator can
use the CLI for performing all levels of switch configuration.
To make the CLI easy to use, the various commands have been logically grouped into a series of
menus and submenus. Each menu displays a list of commands and/or submenus that are available,
along with a summary of what each command will do. Below each menu is a prompt where you can
enter any command appropriate to the current menu.
This chapter describes the Main Menu commands, and provides a list of commands and shortcuts that
commonly are available from all the menus within the CLI.
Main Menu
The Main Menu displays after a successful connection and login. The following table shows the Main
Menu for the administrator login. Some features are not available under the user login.

The Information Menu provides submenus for displaying information about the current status of
the switch: from basic system settings to VLANs, and more.
•
Statistics Menu
This menu provides submenus for displaying switch performance statistics. Included are port, IP,
ICMP, TCP, UDP, SNMP, routing, ARP, and DNS.
