This section describes the rules and conventions of the AsyncOS CLI.

The top-level command prompt consists of the fully qualified hostname, followed by the greater than (

>

) 

symbol, followed by a space. For example:

If the appliance has been configured as part of a cluster with the Centralized Management feature, the

See “Centralized Management” in the user guide for more information. 

When running commands, the CLI requires input from you. When the CLI is expecting input from you, 
the command prompt shows the default input enclosed in square brackets (

[]

) followed by the greater 

than (

>

) symbol. When there is no default input, the command prompt brackets are empty. 

For example:

When there is a default setting, the setting is displayed within the command prompt brackets. For 
example:

When a default setting is shown, typing Return is equivalent to typing the default:

mail3.example.com>

Please create a fully-qualified hostname for this Gateway

(Ex: "mail3.example.com"):
