APC AP9290 User Manual

®

The CLI is composed of a set of commands that follow a basic syntax:

<command> <subcommand>[<target>][<option> 

<argument>]...[<option> <argument>]

After you log in to the CLI, enter 

help

 to display a list of the commands that 

you have permission to use. A command is a specific order to the system to 
perform an action. A subcommand applies an operation to a command.

Each option must be followed by an argument.

[<option> <argument>]

 

You can use multiple 

[<option> <argument>]

elements in one 

command.

Each option can be specified in short form (efficient) or in long form. The 
short form is specified with a single hyphen followed by a single letter:

-n

The long form is specified with a double hyphen followed by a keyword:

--name

An argument is a character or string of characters.

The use of brackets [ ] in this guide indicates that the 
parameter is optional.

You must use a space to separate an option and its argument 
when using the long form. The space is optional when using 
the short form.
