CONFIG Mode Prompt

When you are in CONFIG mode, the CLI prompt consists of the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway
followed by your current node in the hierarchy and two right angle brackets (>>). For example, when you
enter CONFIG mode (by typing
(top)>> prompt reminds you that you are at the top of the CONFIG hierarchy. If you move to the
node in the CONFIG hierarchy (by typing
3000/9437188 (ip)>>
Some CLI commands are not available until certain conditions are met. For example, you must enable
IP for an interface before you can enter IP settings for that interface.

Navigating the CONFIG Hierarchy

❑ Moving from CONFIG to SHELL — You can navigate from anywhere in the CONFIG hierarchy back
to the SHELL level by entering
Netopia-3000/9437188 (top)>> quit
Netopia-3000/9437188 >
❑ Moving from
top
to a subnode — You can navigate from the top node to a subnode by entering
the node name (or the significant letters of the node name) at the CONFIG prompt and pressing
R . For example, you move to the IP subnode by entering
ETURN
Netopia-3000/9437188 (top)>> ip
Netopia-3000/9437188 (ip)>>
As a shortcut, you can enter the significant letters of the node name in place of the full node name at
the CONFIG prompt. The significant characters of a node name are the letters that uniquely identify the
node. For example, since no other CONFIG node starts with b, you could enter one letter ("
to the bridge node.
❑ Jumping down several nodes at once — You can jump down several levels in the CONFIG hierar-
chy by entering the complete path to a node.
❑ Moving up one node — You can move up through the CONFIG hierarchy one node at a time by
entering the up command.
❑ Jumping to the top node — You can jump to the top level from anywhere in the CONFIG hierarchy
by entering the top
❑ Moving from one subnode to another — You can move from one subnode to another by entering
a partial path that identifies how far back to climb.
