# Execute CLI Commands from the Administrator User Interface

CTERA Edge Filers include a command line interface (CLI), with a rich set of commands that can be accessed from the user interface to perform actions not directly available in the GUI.

## Step-by-step guide

**To access the edge filer CLI interface:**

1. Log in to the edge filer user interface as an administrator.
2. Select any option in the navigation menu (for example, **System > Firmware**).
3. In the address bar of your browser, delete the string that appears at the end of the URL, after `config/` (for example, `firmware` if you clicked **System > Firmware** in the previous step) and type `cli` in its place.  

For example, change `https://192.168.28.214/admingui/main.html#/config/firmware` to `https://192.168.28.214/admingui/main.html#/config/cli`
4. Press **Enter**.

The **CLI** execution page is displayed.
