2.2 Using the CLI
2.2.1 How to Enter Commands
z Command Entry Format
Separate each command, subcommand and argument with a single space.
<command> <subcommand> <argument 1> <argument 2> ... (" " indicates a space.)
xg(config)# management-interface ip 192.168.1.10/24 default-gw 192.168.1.150
xg(config)# management-interface dns-server 192.168.1.150
z Characters that can be entered:
− Any letter (A-Z, a-z) and digit (0-9)
− Space (ASCII code: 0x20)
− Symbols: !, ". #, $, %, `, ', (, ), _, -, ~, ^, ¥, {, }, :, +, ,, ., @, =, [, ], &, *, ;, /, ?, |, >
Command and option separators are recognized as one or more space characters (ASCII code:
0x20). Enclose a parameter in quotes if it contains a blank space.
The commands are not case-sensitive. Note that some entries (password, etc.) are
case-sensitive.
