Chapter 1 Using the CLI

Conventions Used

The following conventions are used in this chapter to convey instructions and
information:
• Mandatory keywords are in boldface.
• Variables that you supply are in pointed brackets <>.
• Optional keywords are in square brackets [].
• Alternative but mandatory keywords are grouped in braces {} and separated by
a vertical bar |.
• If you enter an alphanumeric string of two words or more, for example in the
set system location command, enclose the string in inverted commas.
• Information displayed on screen is displayed in text font.

CLI Help

The CLI has its own Help utility. Use the following key sequences to operate the CLI
Help:
• To display all commands available in a context type a question mark.
• To display all commands starting with a certain string, type the first few letters
followed by a question mark.
• To get help containing all commands parameters with their legal values as well
as its syntax and an example, type a question mark at the end of command or at
the stage where it is unique.
• Use the Tab key to complete an unambiguous command.
Example: Router> show?

Command Line Prompt

Four factors affect the command line prompt:
• Host name of the CLI entity - the host name is used as the prefix of the
command prompt.
• Module Number - counting from the bottom up used as part of the prefix. In
this document the Module number in the prompt is generic and is represented
by "N".
• Security level - used as the suffix of the prompt (Refer to Security Level on
page 6.)
• Application context - used as body of the prompt, this part is not mandatory.
