Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management
Chapter 6. Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text-based interface with which you can configure and
manage the MP.11/a using commands. You can enter these commands or submit them in the form of a
script to allow batch processing. Accessing the CLI is discussed in “Command Line Interface Overview”
in the Tsunami MP.11/a Installation and Management Guide..
Administrators use the CLI to control MP.11/a operation and monitor network statistics. The MP.11/a
supports two types of CLI—the Boot Loader CLI and the normal CLI. The Boot Loader CLI provides a
limited command set and is used when the current Image is bad or missing.
BOOT LOADER COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
The Boot Loader is started when the MP.11/a is switched on or reset, and is responsible for starting the
embedded software. The Boot Loader CLI is available when the MP.11/a embedded software is not
running.
The Boot Loader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the
MP.11/a. This interface is accessible only through the serial interface if the MP.11/a does not contain a
software image or a download image command over TFTP has failed.
The Boot Loader CLI lets you configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software
image to the device.
The following commands are supported by the Boot Loader CLI:
▪ Set for configuration of initial device parameters
▪ Show to view the device’s configuration parameters
▪ Help to provide additional information about all commands supported by the Boot Loader CLI
▪ Reboot to reboot the device
The parameters supported by the Boot Loader CLI (for viewing and modifying) are:
▪ System name
▪ IP address assignment type
▪ IP address
▪ IP mask
▪ Gateway IP address
▪ TFTP Server IP address
▪ Image Filename (including the file extension)
