Control Of Cli Command Confirmation; Multiple Command Stringing - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x3100 Series Manual

Control of CLI command confirmation

1.4.3 Control of CLI command confirmation
1.4.3.1 Overview
CLI commands that may result in destructive actions will warn the user by responding to the input of such com-
mands with a prompt asking the user to confirm the requested action with a "YES or Y" or "NO or N". The
user must respond with either a "YES or Y" or "NO or N". The system will continue to prompt for this
response until the user inputs a correct response. This provides the system a certain level of protection from
unwanted destructive events.
It is recommended that confirmation prompting be enabled.
Note:
1.4.3.2 Disable/Enable Confirmation
CLI Confirmation can be disabled if the user requires it. Disabling is especially useful when executing command
scripts on the system. Scripts are discussed in detail in section 8.12.5.

1.4.4 Multiple Command Stringing

Multiple commands can be strung together on the command line using the ";". For example, the following com-
mands can be entered as illustrated and the responses will be returned in the order of command entry.
