      Hi does anyone know how to enter the shell on the latest version before I could use the command "shell" .

      Now in the documentation it says enter the command "/usr/bin/clixon_cli" or sudo /usr/bin/clixon_cli

      That's not working for me ... all I get is Unkown command

      Stumped 😕

      Thanks

        You can still get there you just have to tell it what namespace you want first, so either host shell or dataplane shell.

        We had a number of customers who wanted to use sh for show as they could on other routers, and the shell command conflicted, making sh ambiguous. The namespace-specific <namespace> shell commands already existed, so we removed the conflicting command which used to default to dataplane shell.

          Thanks Jimp, that makes sense using sh for show.

          Great I've got my old shell back again.
