About CONFIG Commands
You reach the configuration mode of the command line interface by typing

) at the CLI SHELL prompt.
CONFIG Mode Prompt
When you are in CONFIG mode, the CLI prompt consists of the name of the Motorola Gateway followed by your
current node in the hierarchy and two right angle brackets (>>). For example, when you enter CONFIG mode (by
config
typing
at the SHELL prompt), the
that you are at the top of the CONFIG hierarchy. If you move to the
ip
at the CONFIG prompt), the prompt changes to
current location.
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
N
SHELL level by entering quit at the CONFIG prompt and pressing Return.
Motorola-3000/9437188 (top)>> quit
Motorola-3000/9437188 >
top
Moving from
to a subnode — You can navigate from the top node to a subnode by entering the node
N
name (or the significant letters of the node name) at the CONFIG prompt and pressing R
you move to the IP subnode by entering
Motorola-3000/9437188 (top)>> ip
Motorola-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 ("
Jumping down several nodes at once — You can jump down several levels in the CONFIG hierarchy by
N
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
N
up
command.
Jumping to the top node — You can jump to the top level from anywhere in the CONFIG hierarchy by enter-
N
top
ing the
command.
Moving from one subnode to another — You can move from one subnode to another by entering a partial
N
path that identifies how far back to climb.
Moving from any subnode to any other subnode — You can move from any subnode to any other subnode
N
by entering a partial path that starts with a top-level CONFIG command.
Scrolling backward and forward through recent commands — You can use the Up and Down arrow keys
N
to scroll backward and forward through recent commands you have entered. When the command you want
appears, press Enter to execute it.
Entering Commands in CONFIG Mode
CONFIG commands consist of keywords and arguments. Keywords in a CONFIG command specify the action
you want to take or the entity on which you want to act. Arguments in a CONFIG command specify the values
appropriate to your site. For example, the CONFIG command
