Description

This scenario demonstrates how to show and store in a file the different actions that users perform on the CLI.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set system description DESC1
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 2: Run the command system journal show | tail -n 20 on DUT0 and expect the following output:

Show output

May 19 16:09:28.985131 osdx OSDxCLI[529748]: User 'admin' left the configuration menu.

Step 3: Run the command system login show users on DUT0 and expect the following output:

Show output
NAME     LINE         TIME             COMMENT
admin    ttyS0        2026-05-19 16:05

Step 4: Run the command system journal show | tail -n 20 on DUT0 and expect the following output:

set system syslog file CLI filter def level info

Step 6: Login as admin user on DUT0:

admin@osdx

Step 7: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :
