Managing CLI and Remote Shell Settings

CLI Settings Library (SETTINGS menu > Configuration Management > CLI Settings Library) stores session-profile settings needed to invoke commands and run Configuration Management tasks on remote devices.

Configuration Management enables you to create and associate Configuration Management tasks that apply device and system-specific login attributes needed to connect to devices using a Telnet or ssh (secure shell) session. These session attributes are saved to records stored in the CLI Library.

Using the CLI Library, you can:

• Add. Create a new CLI settings profile.
• Edit. Change credentials and session attributes for a CLI settings profile.
• Copy. Clone an existing CLI profile and modify it slightly.
• Delete. Remove a CLI settings profile from WhatsUp Gold.
• Export. Generate a text file with the current profile settings.
• Import. Create a profile from a previously exported CLI settings file.
