Using the CLI Help Facility
Saving Settings
In CONFIG mode, the save command saves the working copy of the settings to the Gate-
way. The Gateway automatically validates its settings when you save and displays a warn-
ing message if the configuration is not correct.
Using the CLI Help Facility
The help command lets you display on-line help for SHELL and CONFIG commands. To dis-
play a list of the commands available to you from your current location within the command
line interface hierarchy, enter help.
To obtain help for a specific CLI command, type help <command>. You can truncate the
help
command to
h
or a question mark when you request help for a CLI command.
About SHELL Commands
You begin in SHELL mode when you start a CLI session. SHELL mode lets you perform the
following tasks with your Netopia Gateway:
• Monitor its performance
• Display and reset Gateway statistics
• Issue administrative commands to restart Netopia Gateway functions
SHELL Prompt
When you are in SHELL mode, the CLI prompt is the name of the Netopia Gateway followed
by a right angle bracket (>). For example, if you open a CLI connection to the Netopia Gate-
way named “Netopia-3000/9437188,” you would see
Netopia-3000/9437188>
as your
CLI prompt.
SHELL Command Shortcuts
You can truncate most commands in the CLI to their shortest unique string. For example,
you can use the truncated command
q
in place of the full
quit
command to exit the CLI.
However, you would need to enter
rese
for the
reset
command, since the first characters
of
reset
are common to the
restart
command.
