[c-nsp] Cisco ME1200 iCLI

[Williams, Paul]

We had this same issue, and raised a TAC case. Eventually we managed to get through to an ME1200 expert, who gave us some hidden commands to enter.
Log in to the default shell, and then enter:
v i e
v i v
(note there's a space between each letter, hit enter after each line)
That got us to the iCLI interface, so hopefully it will work for you too.

I believe the newer images for this device drop into a normal IOS by default.

Regards
Paul W

I was never able to get the iCLI work always was stuck in the awkward shell, or GUI. When talking to our cisco SE, he really wasn't familiar with it. We didn't spend a lot of time on it and moved on to the next project.

If someone could share how to change the device from a Shell like to iCLI, that would be appreciated.

Wow that's weird. Why do you get the iCLI and I get this crapy shell? Our Image is me1200-universal-mz.156-2.SN which is the same as yours. But our OS Version is different, we have "OS Software Build 15.6-2.SN" (same as the Image). And I also use the admin/sandino default priv 15 user..

It would be very happy with a shell like yours :) But how to get it?
