Guidelines: CONFIG Commands

The following table provides guidelines for entering and formatting CONFIG commands.
Command
component
Command verbs CONFIG commands must start with a command verb (set, view, delete).
You can truncate CONFIG verbs to three characters (set, vie, del).
CONFIG verbs are case-insensitive. You can enter "SET," "Set," or "set."
Keywords Keywords are case-insensitive. You can enter "Ethernet," "ETHERNET," or "ethernet" as a
keyword without changing its meaning.
Keywords can be abbreviated to the length that they are differentiated from other key-
words.
Argument Text Text strings can be as many as 64 characters long, unless otherwise specified. In some
cases they may be as long as 255 bytes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Text strings may be enclosed in double (") or single (') quote marks. If the text string
includes an embedded space, it must be enclosed in quotes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Numbers Enter numbers as integers, or in hexadecimal, where so noted.
IP addresses Enter IP addresses in dotted decimal notation (0 to 255).
If a command is ambiguous or miskeyed, the CLI prompts you to enter additional information. For example, you
must specify which virtual circuit you are configuring when you are setting up a Motorola Gateway.

Displaying Current Gateway Settings

Step Mode: A CLI Configuration Technique

The Motorola Gateway command line interface includes a step mode to automate the process of entering configu-
ration settings. When you use the CONFIG step mode, the command line interface prompts you for all required
and optional information. You can then enter the configuration values appropriate for your site without having to
enter complete CLI commands.
When you are in step mode, the command line interface prompts you to enter required and optional settings. If a
setting has a default value or a current setting, the command line interface displays the default value for the com-
mand in parentheses. If a command has a limited number of acceptable values, those values are presented in
brackets, with each value separated by a vertical line. For example, the following CLI step command indicates that
