Using the unified CLI with working-sets
The unified CLI is a central component of AMF. It provides users with a configuration and
display interface that can control the entire AMF network from a single point. Control of the
nodes within an AMF network is provided through the working-set command.
The working-set
An AMF working-set is a set of nodes, which is either arbitrarily user defined or one of the
pre-defined working-set groups. Specifying or selecting a working-set allows CLI commands
to be executed on all nodes within the selected working-set with a single command. A
working-set can be defined, selected and configured from any node within an AMF network.
By default, when you first log into a node that is part of an AMF network, you are implicitly
placed into the working-set group local, a working-set which only contains the local node. In
this instance the CLI prompt when you log in will look the same as on any other AlliedWare
plus device.
Node1>enable
Node1#
To create a working set containing a set of nodes use the command atmf working-set
followed by a comma separated list of the nodes you wish to control. Whenever you select a
working set containing any nodes other than the local device, the CLI prompt will display the
AMF network name, followed by the number of nodes contained in the working set in
square brackets.
Node1#atmf working-set Node1,Node2
==============
Node1, Node2
==============
Working set join
atmf1[2]#
To return to just controlling the local device from any other working set, use the command
atmf working-set group local.
Working-set groups
AMF contains the ability to have working-set groups, so that it is not always necessary to use
a comma separated list to specify a working-set.
AMF working-set groups can be split into two types:
Automatic
User-defined
