Tacppd CLI - command-line interface

command-line interface available throught telnet. You can configure your server throught CLI, and changes will be immediately available. The next issue - "write" command will crypt cleartext passwords and write current configuration to configuration file "etc/tacpp.conf". When you connect to server via telnet ("telnet ip.addr port" - ip.add - addr of host where tacppd work, port - portnumber in tacpp.conf) after user access verification (default user=admin password=admin_password) you see string: your_hostname#" it means, that you now in CLI. try write "?" and press <ENTER> for help No edit keys available in this version, be carefull! I have tested telnet special codes only for Linux telnet, from Windows's HyperTerm you can have problems. Currently you can see and change configuration and check/drop users on your access servers

config - change server configuration you should do "write" command to store your working configuration to startup configuration file (etc/tacpp.conf) (use commands from configuration file documentation upper)

show - show several information currently you can see only currently working users table and network devices under control

clear - clear anything currently you can drop users/ports on network devices

database - database control mode
