To convert from GUI (Graphical User Interface) mode to CLI (Command Line Interface) mode on a Cisco Viptela device, you typically need to access the device via SSH (Secure Shell) or a console connection and then issue the appropriate command. Here's a general guide on how to do this:
-
Access the Device: You can access the device either through SSH (if enabled) or through a console connection. If using SSH, you'll need an SSH client like PuTTY.
-
Log in: Enter your credentials to log in to the device. You'll need administrative privileges to switch between GUI and CLI modes.
-
Enter Configuration Mode (Optional): If necessary, enter configuration mode. This step may not be required if you're already in the operational mode.
-
Switch to CLI Mode: Use the appropriate command to switch from GUI mode to CLI mode. In Cisco Viptela devices, this command is typically something like
cli
orvshell
. Here's an example:vshell
-
Confirm the Switch: Once you issue the command, the device should switch to CLI mode. You should see a command prompt indicating that you are now in CLI mode.
-
Execute Commands: You can now execute CLI commands to configure, monitor, or troubleshoot the device as needed.
