Chapter 1: Introduction
Using the Command Line Interface
The CLI allows you to enter and execute commands from the IA Console or from Telnet
sessions. Up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions are allowed. CLI commands are
grouped by subsystems. For example, the set of commands that let you configure and
display IP routing table information all start with ip. Within the set of ip commands are
commands such as set, show, start, stop, configure, etc. The complete set of commands
for each subsystem is described in the Internet Appliance Command Line Interface Reference
Manual.
Command Modes
The CLI provides access to four different command modes. Each command mode
provides a group of related commands. This section describes how to access and list the
commands available in each command mode and explains the primary uses for each
command mode.
User Mode
After you log in to the IA, you are automatically in User mode. The User commands
available are a subset of those available in Enable mode. In general, the User commands
allow you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping.
The User mode command prompt consists of the ia name followed by the angle bracket
(>), as shown below:
ia>
The default name is ia unless it has been changed during initial configuration. Refer to the
Internet Appliance 1100/1200 Getting Started Guide for the procedures for changing the
system name.
