iBypass HD
Log into the CLI
Each iBypass HD maintains a list of accounts for users authorized to access that particular iBypass HD device. The
default account for new systems is User Name admin and Password netoptics.
To log into the CLI:
1. Type the user name. (The default user name is admin.)
The Enter Password prompt is displayed.
2. Type the password.
The default password is netoptics. For security, the password is not displayed as you type it.
The Help command is automatically executed and the CLI prompt is displayed.
Use the CLI Help Command
The iBypass HD CLI has several features to help you understand commands and enter commands more efficiently.
Besides using the Help command, help for an individual command is also displayed if you enter a command without
the proper arguments. To display a list of sub-commands and arguments for any command, press the ? key after
entering the command. (You must leave a space between the command and the question mark.) For example, type
"system add ?" to display a list of all the arguments that can be used to complete the command.
The tab key or the space bar can be used to automatically complete words in the CLI. This function works for commands
as well as arguments. For example, typing the letter "t" followed by the tab key results in "time" being entered in
the command line. Likewise, "hel<tab>" auto-completes to the "help" command. However, "he<tab>" does not
auto-complete, because it is ambiguous between the "help" and "heartbeat" commands.
To view CLI help information:
1. Type Help (or ?) at the "Net Optics>" prompt.
The iBypass HD Main Help Menu is displayed.
2. To view the syntax for changing the iBypass HD switch parameters, type help switch.
3. Repeat Step 2 with the command of interest to view the syntax for any command available in the CLI.
For a summary of all of the CLI commands, see Appendix B. For a complete description of all of the CLI commands,
see the iBypass HD CLI Command Reference manual.
