Understanding
Command Conventions
You manage the CoreBuilder
®
5000 Distributed Management Module (DMM) by
entering commands at the management prompt on the terminal console, or
remotely using TELNET. Commands are not case-sensitive (that is, you can use
uppercase and lowercase characters with equal effect), with the exception of the
SET COMMUNITY command.
Using Terminal
Keystrokes
In addition to alphanumeric characters, terminal input for the DMM includes basic
keyboard functions and control sequences. For example, you can correct typing
mistakes by pressing the Delete key or the Backspace key. Pressing Enter in the
middle of a command entry when an argument is expected causes the DMM to
prompt you for additional information. Terminal keystrokes and their functions are
outlined in Table 5.
