Configuring Multiple Nodes at the Same

Time: the Unified CLI

The unified CLI is a central component of AMF. It provides you with a configuration and

display interface that can control a selected collection of nodes, or the entire AMF

network, from a single point. This control is provided through the atmf working-set

command.

The working-set An AMF working-set is a set of nodes that can be collectively configured from a single

device. Working sets can either arbitrarily user defined or automatically created (a pre-

defined working-set). Specifying or selecting a working-set enables CLI commands to be

executed on all nodes within the working-set by using a single command. A working-set

can be defined, selected, and configured from any node within an AMF network.

By default, when you first log into a node that is part of an AMF network, you are implicitly

placed into the working-set group local, a working-set that contains only the local node.

In this instance the CLI prompt when you log in will be either:

■ the host-name, if one has been assigned, or

■ in the case of a new node in safe mode, a host name based on its MAC address

followed by the usual prompt (> or #)

To create a working set containing a set of nodes use the command atmf working-set

followed by a comma separated list of the nodes you wish to control. Whenever you select

a working set containing any nodes other than the local device, the CLI prompt will

display the AMF network name, followed by the number of nodes contained in the

working set in square brackets (atmf1[2] in the following example).

To return to just controlling the local device from any other working set, use the command

atmf working-set group local.

Note

For security reasons you can limit the action of working sets by applying

“restrictive login.” For more information, see “atmf restricted-login” on
