By default, only the Bash shell is supported. With Linux root permissions, you can install a different shell, such as the C shell or KornShell. However, shell-activity logging is supported only for the Bash shell.
If you open multiple Bash sessions, the Linux shell timeout is applicable only on the current Bash session.
If you run Linux commands as part of the script or through a file, the device logs the script or file execution. It does not log the commands.
If you use the
cli_run command to execute
SLX-OS CLI
show commands from the shell, pagination is not supported, and commands that require user input are also not supported.
At the
SLX-OS CLI, a window resizing issue occurs when you execute Linux commands such as
top using the
oscmd command. Extreme recommends that you execute these commands from the Linux shell.
Although as an
SLX-OS admin, you have permissions to run the following commands from the Linux shell, you do not have permissions to run them—from the
SLX-OS CLI—appended to the
oscmd command.
bash
script
vi
vim
Do not modify SLX-OS user accounts
from the Linux shell. For information on modifying user accounts, refer to the
Extreme SLX-OS Security Configuration Guide.
