This section covers a few common operational tasks and how to perform them.
Interactive Shell
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FRR offers an IOS-like interactive shell called ``vtysh`` where a user can run
individual configuration or show commands. To get into this shell, issue the
``vtysh`` command from either a privilege user (root, or with sudo) or a user
account that is part of the ``frrvty`` group.
e.g.
.. code-block:: console
root@ub18:~# vtysh
Hello, this is FRRouting (version 8.1-dev).
