Command entry
This chapter assumes the BSGX4e has been installed in a working network
as described in the Installation Guide and the Initial Configuration Guide. It
also assumes that you can log in to the device from a terminal session at
your workstation or the console.
A command prompt displays after logging in to the BSGX4e from a terminal
session. The command prompt consists of a string followed by the >
character. The string can be customized as described in the next section.
Because the string can be changed, the convention in this guide is to show
the command prompt as the > character:
>
Note: If your log in fails, retry the log in procedure to ensure you did not
make a typing error. If log in fails again, a likely cause is your PC having a
static IP address rather than using DHCP to obtain a dynamic address.
Enter any command in response to this prompt. However, if you logged in
with a user ID that does not have authority to execute the command, the
unit responds as in the following example:
> reboot
Invalid access for user ‘user’!
For more information about the authority granted to user accounts, see
User commands on page 168
.
The Command Line Interpreter executes a command as soon as it is
received.
z If the entire command is entered on one line, the command is executed
immediately after the <
enter> key is typed.
z If the command is entered in interactive mode (see Interactive mode on
page 19), the command is executed as soon as its entry is complete
(after entry of exit or <ctrl-z>).
Note: Although config commands change the current configuration
immediately, the changes can be lost if the unit restarts. To save the
changes to permanent memory, enter a save command.
