[c-nsp] Cisco ME1200 iCLI

[Holger L]

Hi,

it's the first time I test a Cisco ME1200 and got some basic questions.
(Till now we used ME3400 Switches to deploy QinQ L2 VPNs.)

I got two ME1200-4S-A Switches and wonder how to get into iCLI? I am able
to access the "NID Configuration" on console and to access the web
interface (after I configured an IP in "NID Configuration").

But how to get into iCLI mode which has the well-known Cisco syntax?

In the docs they just exit the "NID Configuration" and do a "conf t" but
this doesn't work.. As priv 15 admin:

(ProvisionPortVlanPortType)# exit
# configure terminal
% Command not permitted.

And it seems all the commands out of the iCLI docs are not available in my
shell:

Same commands if I use ssh instead of console. Any Ideas?

BTW, I did not use a ME3800/ME3600 as controller. Do I need to do this to
access iCLI?

Thanks, BR,
