Additional CLI Information

8.1 CLI Contexts
At each step of the configuration, you'll be asked to invoke CLI commands within a
particular "context." To enter the main "configuration" context, type
top-level CLI prompt. The prompt changes when you change contexts:
ws5000> configure
ws5000.(Cfg)>
All of the contexts in the following instructions are "subcontexts" of the
context. For example, to get to the WLAN context you would type
context:
configure
ws5000.(Cfg)> wlan
ws5000.(Cfg).WLAN>
As a shortcut, jump directly to a configuration subcontext through the
"
configure subcontext
ws5000> configure wlan
ws5000.(Cfg).WLAN>
As a further shortcut, the CLI performs silent auto-completion of unambiguous
commands. As an example, "
enter an abbreviated command that isn't unambiguous (i.e. that can resolve to more than
one command), you'll be presented with a list of command completions.
