5. System Administration with CLI
5.1 About CLI Administration
Command Line Interface (CLI) is the primary user interface to administrate the system. CLI
can be accessed either from the CID port or telnet session. All CLI commands are simple
strings designed for the Administrator to manage your IP DSLAM easily.
5.1.1 Notation Conventions
z Keywords in a command that you must enter exactly as shown are presented in bold.
z User specified values in a command are presented in regular typeface, i.e., not bold or
italic.
z Parameter values enclosed in < > must be specified.
z Parameters enclosed in [ ] are optional. All modify parameters are shown as optional in
CLI commands even if there exists only a single parameter.
z Parameter values are separated by a vertical bar ì|î only when one of the specified
values can be used.
z Parameter values are enclosed in { } when you must use one of the values specified.
z Parameters are enclosed in [ ] + when you can specify the parameter one or more
times, in the command line.
5.1.2 Command Structure
CLI commands conform to the following structure except for some basic service
com-mands such as ping, traceroute etc.
<Action>:
This is the first keyword of a CLI command. It indicates the type of operation to be
performed. "create" is an example of this keyword. However, if no action is specified it
will mean ìmodifyî. For example, modify bridge port intf portid portid status enable and
bridge port intf portid portid status enable ì mean the same.
<Group>:
This is the second keyword of a CLI command. It indicates the group of a CLI
command. "Bridge" is an example of this keyword.
