4.9 Monitoring Users

Another useful and fairly important feature of the CLI is the ability to monitor who is using it. This task can be accomplished by using the show system users command at the CLI. The show system users command lets you know who is connected to the router, how other users are connected, when they logged in, and what they are doing. In the following example, the user root is logged in at 8:03 A.M. and is working in the CLI. The user lab logged in at 7:55 A.M. and is in a shell.
