THE

 CLI

To enter commands that require parameters, enter the required 
parameters after the command keyword. For example, to set a password 
for the administrator, enter:

When working with the CLI, the command options are not displayed. The 
command is not selected from a menu, but is manually entered. To see 
what commands are available in each mode or within an Interface 
Configuration, the CLI does provide a method of displaying the available 
commands, the command syntax requirements and in some instances 
parameters required to complete the command. The standard command 
to request help is ?.

There are two instances where help information can be displayed:

■

Keyword lookup — The character ? is entered in place of a 
command. A list of all valid commands and corresponding help 
messages are is displayed.

■

Partial keyword lookup — If a command is incomplete and or the 
character ? is entered in place of a parameter. The matched keyword 
or parameters for this command are displayed.

To assist in using the CLI, there is an assortment of editing features. The 
following features are described:

■

Terminal Command Buffer

■

Command Completion

■

Nomenclature

■

Keyboard Shortcuts

Every time a command is entered in the CLI, it is recorded on an internally 
managed Command History buffer. Commands stored in the buffer are 
maintained on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis. These commands can be 
recalled, reviewed, modified, and reissued. This buffer is not preserved 
across device resets.
