NetStructure™ 480T Routing Switch User Guide
To use the command-line interface (CLI):
Most configuration
commands require that
you have administrator
privileges.
1. Enter the command name.
When entering a command at the prompt, ensure that you have the
appropriate privilege level.
2. Enter the parameter name and values, if included.
The value (also known as an argument) specifies how you want
the parameter to be set. Values include numerics, strings, or
addresses, depending on the parameter.
3. After entering the complete command, press Enter.
An asterisk (*) in front of
the command-line prompt
indicates you have made
changes that have not
been saved.
Syntax Helper
The CLI has a built-in syntax helper. If you are unsure of the
complete syntax for a particular command, enter as much of the
command as possible and press Enter. The syntax helper provides a
list of options for the remainder of the command.
The syntax helper also provides assistance if you have entered an
incorrect command.
Command Completion with Syntax Helper
Use the Tab key to access command completion.
1. Enter a partial command.
2. Press the Tab key to post a list of available options.
3. The cursor appears at the end of the command.
Abbreviated Syntax
Abbreviated syntax is the shortest, most unambiguous, allowable
abbreviation of a command or parameter. Typically, this is the first
three letters of the command. For example, ena is sufficient for the
Enable command.
When using abbreviated syntax, you must enter enough characters
to make the command unambiguous and distinguishable to the
switch.
