CLI Credential Test

Use the CLI Credential Test tool (Tools icon > Device > CLI Credential Test) to determine a successful CLI user name, password, and enable password (if applicable) for a device. The CLI Credentials Test can be run only on devices known to NetMRI. For the selected device, the tool tries all the combinations listed on the Settings icon > Setup > Credentials page using the same order as NetMRI's internal guessers. Testing stops when a successful combination is found or all combinations have been exhausted.

To run a CLI credentials test, do the following:

  1. In the Hostname or IP field: Enter a host name or IP address, or open the list and select a device.
  2. Open the Network View list and choose the network view containing the specified device.
  3. Click OK.
    • To stop the test: click Cancel.
    • To save the results or view them in a text editor: click the Text link.
    • To repeat the test on the save device: click Refresh.
    • To run the test on a different device: click Settings.
