Using CCM Appliance Commands
Accessing the CLI
You may access the CLI in three ways: using the Telnet CLI, using the console port or entering the
CLI access character during a session to a serial device. When the CLI is accessed, its prompt
appears (>), indicating you may type a command.
Entering Commands
At the command prompt, type a command and then press Return or Enter. When the key is
pressed, the command line comprises all characters to the left of the cursor. The character at the
cursor and any characters to the right of the cursor are ignored. Table 4.1 lists the line editing
operations for VT100 compatible devices.

The character immediately before the cursor is erased and all text at and to the right of the

If the cursor is not at the beginning of the line, the cursor moves one character to the left. If the

previous command line in the command line buffer, the command line is set to blanks and you
may enter a new command.

next command line, the command line is set to blanks and you may enter a new command.
