Introduction to CLI 

This chapter introduces the line commands. 

5.1  Command Line Interface Overview

In addition to the web configurator, you can use line commands to configure the Prestige. It is 
recommended that you use the web configurator for everyday management of the Prestige and 
that you use line commands for advanced Prestige diagnosis and troubleshooting.  If you have 
problems with your Prestige, customer support may request that you issue some of these 
commands to assist them in troubleshooting.
