Configuring VISM Features
The command line interface (CLI) is a DOS-like interface used to configure VISM cards. This chapter
describes the following:
• “Using the Command Line Interface” section on page 4-1
• “Connecting to Cisco MGX 8000 Series Platforms” section on page 4-2
• “Configuring VISM Features” section on page 4-6
Using the Command Line Interface
CLI commands may be followed by a string of required or optional argument identifiers and argument
values. The entire string, from the command to the last argument value, is referred to as a command line.
Spaces are used to separate all elements in a command line. Type the command, any necessary argument
identifiers and argument values, then press Enter.
Note You must press the Enter key at the end of all CLI command lines to complete the command.
For example, the Add Endpoint command, addendpt, adds an endpoint to VISM and has three required
arguments. An endpoint defines one end of a connection. The addendpt command format is as follows:
addendpt endpt-num ds1-num ds0-num
When you type a command, use argument values to represent the arguments. For example, to add an
endpoint with number 10 on DS1 number 4 and DS0 number 3, the command line is as follows:
addendpt 10 4 3
Some commands require you to type an argument identifier before the argument value. For example, the
Clear Alarm command, clralm, requires you to enter an identifier, -ds1, before the argument value. The
clralm command format is as follows:
clralm -ds1 line-num
To clear alarms on line 4, the command line is as follows:
clralm -ds1 4
