About the Web Interface

This guide details the commands available on the Web and the Command Line Interfaces. The tables contained in
this document reference the CLI commands and the equivalent Web Interface menu items that allow the same

About the Command Line Interface
To use the command line interface (CLI) of your unit, please refer to the following points for assistance:
When initially accessing the CLI, press Enter when prompted. The User View displays. This is indicated by the
■
chevron brackets around the name of the unit at the prompt, for example, <4500>.
In System View, square brackets appear around the name of the unit at the prompt, for example, [4500].
■
You must be in the System View menu to access the configurable CLI commands.
■
Some commands can be entered directly at any prompt from anywhere in the interface.
■
If you enter part of a command followed by a ? (with no space between), the CLI will show you all the
■
commands that begin in that way.
To display command parameters:
■
At the prompt, enter the name of the command followed by a space and ?. For example:
<4500>
boot ?
The following parameters are displayed:
