Using the Command Line Interface
13
This section describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure and manage
the NH2025-10 switch.
Command Conventions
The following conventions are used within this guide to make understanding and using the
CLI easier.
Command Items appearing in this typeface are to be typed as shown.
Italics Italicized items are variables and represent values. For example, <IPaddress>
represents an IP address in dotted decimal notation as 123.1.2.3.
{ } | Items in { } and separated by | represent alternatives for the argument. For example:
get-comm {read|write|*}
means you can type one of the following:
get-comm read
get-comm write
get-comm *
Command Line Help
The CLI provides command line help to ease in the entering of commands correctly. The
following command line help is available:
• Command parameter Help
• Command group Help
• Command wildcard Help
• Command history
Getting Command Parameter Help
To get an explanation of a command’s parameters add a question mark (?) after the command
name. For example:
SYS_console> ping ?
The unit displays the available parameters for the ping command:
ping IP traffic generator
[arg #0] destination IP address
[arg #1] number of packets to send or 0 for endless ping
SYS_console> ping _
Note that the command is reprinted after the prompt. You can add the necessary parameters
here. If a question mark is added after the first parameter, then the same explanation is
provided, and the previous command, including the provided parameters, is redisplayed.
