Prompt And Response Conventions; Cli Options - Juniper MEDIA FLOW CONTROLLER 2.0.4 - ADMINISTRATOR S GUIDE AND CLI Administrator's Manual

Media Flow Controller Configuration Tasks (CLI)
Example:
test-vos >
test-vos #
test-vos (config) #
test-vos (config namespace test) #
test-vos (config) #
test-vos #
test-vos >

Prompt and Response Conventions

The prompt always begins with the hostname of the system. What follows depends on what
command mode you are in. To demonstrate by example, say the hostname is "test-vos". The
prompts for each of the modes would be:
test-vos >
test-vos #
test-vos (config) #
Commands that succeed in doing what was asked do not print any response. The next thing
you see after pressing Enter is the command prompt. If an error is encountered in executing a
command, the response begins with % (percent sign), followed by some text describing the
error.
Note! All CLI commands allow completion with TAB. For example, typing en and then
pressing TAB completes the en command out to enable. Completion (hitting TAB) also shows
all commands following the typed letters; for example, typing e (in Standard mode) and then
pressing TAB shows enable and exit as the available commands starting with e.

CLI Options

There are four groups of commands relating to the CLI itself:
•
cli session commands change a setting only for the current CLI session. They do not
affect any other sessions, and can be performed by any user at any time.
•
cli default commands change the defaults for the specified setting for all future CLI
sessions of all users. They also change the setting for the current session from which they
were executed, but not for any other currently active sessions. Since they change
configuration, the user must be in configuration mode to run them, so they can only be run
by admin privilege user.
•
Other cli commands that take one-time actions, rather than change a setting, and thus do
not fall under the session or default umbrellas. For example, cli clear-history.
•
terminal commands are clones of a subset of the cli session commands, and are only
present for ease-of-use.
See cli for CLI command details.
Note! Some settings, such as the terminal length and width, are inherently session-specific,
and there are no corresponding commands to set defaults. Also, some commands are only
available in default form.
