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 command system journal show | tail -n 20 at DUT0 and expect this output:

Step 5: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :

set system syslog file CLI filter def app OSDxCLI
set system syslog file CLI filter def level info

Step 6: Login as admin user on DUT0.

Step 7: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :

set system description DESC2

Step 8: Run command file show running://log/user/CLI/CLI at DUT0 and expect this output:
