Command Line Entry Conventions
Most Cajun A500 console commands require that you press Enter to execute the
command. This documentation does not include this instruction unless the specific
action differs from this standard. For example, when rebooting the Cajun A500, the
system prompts you with
Are you sure you want to reboot?
. When you enter
Y
the system accepts this without you having to press Enter.
Syntax Structure
In general, each command uses the following format:
{verb} {object} {info_type} [target_object] [data]
This format is defined in Table 5-3.

When you enter a command without specifying a target object, the CLI prompts for it.
For example:

Select ATM port (A1.1 - A4.8):
If you had enter a complete command, such as
admin link_type a1.1
, no further
prompting by the CLI is necessary, and only the results of the command display.
