Absolute Paths - Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS-12 Configuration Manual

Absolute Paths

CLI commands can be executed in any context by specifying the full path from the CLI root. To
execute an out-of-context command enter a forward slash "/" or backward slash "\" at the
beginning of the command line. The forward slash "/" or backward slash "\" cannot be used with
the environment alias command.The commands are interpreted as absolute path. Spaces between
the slash and the first command will return an error. Commands that are already global (such as
ping, telnet, exit, back, etc.) cannot be executed with a forward slash "/" or backward slash "\" at
the beginning of the command line.
*A:ALA-12# configure router
*A:ALA-12>config>router# interface system address 1.2.3.4
*A:ALA-12>config>router# /admin save
*A:ALA-12>config>router# \clear router interface
*A:ALA-12>config>router#
The command may or may not change the current context depending on whether or not it is a leaf
command. This is the same behavior the CLI performs when CLI commands are entered
individually, for example:
*A:ALA-12# admin
*A:ALA-12>admin# save
or
*A:ALA-12# admin save
*A:ALA-12#
Note that an absolute path command behaves the same as manually entering a series of command
line instructions and parameters.
For example, beginning in an IES context service ID 4 (IES 4),
CLI Syntax: config>service>ies> /clear card 1
behaves the same as the following series of commands.

:
config>service>ies>exit all
clear card 1
configure service ies 4
config>service>ies
