Configuring Tcl

Comware V7 provides a built-in tool command language (Tcl) interpreter so you can execute Tcl
commands on the device.
From user view, you can use the tclsh command to enter Tcl configuration view, where you can execute
the following commands:
All Tcl 8.5 commands.
•
Comware commands. In this case, the Tcl configuration view is equivalent to the user view. You can
•
use Comware commands in Tcl configuration view in the same way they are used in user view. For
example, you can do the following:
Use the system-view command to enter system view to configure features.
U se the quit command to return to the upper-level view.
Use the return command to return to the Tcl configuration view.
Executing the quit command in Tcl configuration view terminates your connection to the device,
just as executing the command in user view does.
