Features and limitations
The CLI has the following features and limitations:
v Multiple concurrent CLI sessions are allowed with different access methods
(Telnet, SSH, or serial).
– At most, two Telnet command-line sessions can be active at any time. (The
number of Telnet sessions is configurable: valid values are 0,1, and 2, with 0
meaning that the Telnet interface is disabled).
– At most, two SSH command-line sessions can be active at any time. This
number is fixed.
v
One command is allowed per line (160-character limit, including spaces).
v There is no continuation character for long commands. The only editing function
is the Backspace key to erase the character that you just typed.
v The Up and Down arrow keys can be used to browse through the last eight
commands. The history command displays a list of the last eight commands,
which you can then use as a shortcut to execute a command, as in the following
example:
x345RSA> history
0 ifconfig eth0
1 readlog
2 readlog
3 readlog
4 history
x345RSA> !0
-state enabled
-c dthens
-i 192.168.70.125
-g 0.0.0.0
-s 255.255.255.0
-n ASMA00096B9E003A
-r auto
-d auto
-m 1500
-b 00:09:6B:9E:00:3A
-l 00:00:00:00:00:00
x345RSA>
v In the command-line interface, the output buffer limit is 2 KB. There is no
buffering. The output of an individual command cannot exceed 2048 characters.
This limit does not apply in serial redirect mode (the data is buffered during serial
redirect).
v The output of a command appears on the screen after the command has
completed execution. This makes it impossible for commands to report real-time
execution status. For example, in the verbose mode of the flashing command,
you will not see the flashing progress in real time. You will see it after the
command completes execution.
v Simple text messages are used to denote command execution status, as in the
following example:
x345RSA> power on
ok
x345RSA> power state
Power: On
State: System power off/State unknown
x345RSA>
v The command syntax is case sensitive.
v There must be at least one space between an option and its argument. For
example, ifconfig eth0 -i192.168.70.133 is incorrect syntax. The correct
syntax is ifconfig eth0 -i 192.168.70.133.
