CLI locked up (5.2.1)

[ggntt]

Was pasting some commands into the CLI and it locked up.

Now it wont connect... anyone know why this happens (is it a bug, a safeguard or is it now corrupt) ?

I want to avoid a reboot if possible

I doubt it corrupt give it some time and re-try again. FWIW,  If you have a lot  of commands to enter, the batch cmd upload is ideal for this.

Did you use telnet? SSH? console? Can you still access GUI? 

[emnoc]

if you can login via ssh ( please say you don't have telnet enabled on a firewall ;)  ) or WebGUI

than I would drop in to cli &  sys console and disable and re-enable the console )

config  sys console

    set login  disable

end

followed by

config  sys console

    set login  enable

end

Just to let you know the CLI lockup went back to normal itself after a few days - thanks for your help
