+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).
