•• Common Parameters
• copy-from - Copies an existing item. It takes default values of new item's properties from another item. If
you do not want to make exact copy, you can specify new values for some properties. When copying items
that have names, you will usually have to give a new name to a copy
• place-before - places a new item before an existing item with specified position. Thus, you do not need to
use the move command after adding an item to the list
• disabled - controls disabled/enabled state of the newly added item(-s)
• comment - holds the description of a newly created item
•• Return Values
•• add command returns internal number of item it has added
• edit - this command is associated with the set command. It can be used to edit values of properties that contain
large amount of text, such as scripts, but it works with all editable properties. Depending on the capabilities of the
terminal, either a fullscreen editor, or a single line editor is launched to edit the value of the specified property.
• find - The find command has the same arguments as set, plus the flag arguments like disabled or active that take
values yes or no depending on the value of respective flag. To see all flags and their names, look at the top of
print command's output. The find command returns internal numbers of all items that have the same values of
arguments as specified.
• move - changes the order of items in list.
•• Parameters
•• first argument specifies the item(-s) being moved.
•• second argument specifies the item before which to place all items being moved (they are placed at the end
of the list if the second argument is omitted).
• print - shows all information that's accessible from particular command level. Thus, /system clock print shows
system date and time, /ip route print shows all routes etc. If there's a list of items in current level and they are not
read-only, i.e. you can change/remove them (example of read-only item list is /system history, which shows
history of executed actions), then print command also assigns numbers that are used by all commands that operate
with items in this list.
•• Common Parameters
• from - show only specified items, in the same order in which they are given.
• where - show only items that match specified criteria. The syntax of where property is similar to the find
command.
• brief - forces the print command to use tabular output form
• detail - forces the print command to use property=value output form
• count-only - shows the number of items
• file - prints the contents of the specific submenu into a file on the router.
• interval - updates the output from the print command for every interval seconds.
• oid - prints the OID value for properties that are accessible from SNMP
• without-paging - prints the output without stopping after each screenful.
• remove - removes specified item(-s) from a list.
• set - allows you to change values of general parameters or item parameters. The set command has arguments with
names corresponding to values you can change. Use ? or double [Tab] to see list of all arguments. If there is a list
of items in this command level, then set has one action argument that accepts the number of item (or list of
numbers) you wish to set up. This command does not return anything.
