Global Commands
Some basic commands are recognized throughout the ISCLI command modes. These com-
mands are useful for obtaining online Help, navigating through the interface, and for saving
configuration changes.
For help about a specific command, type the command, followed by ? (question mark).
Table 1-2 Description of Global Commands
Command Action
? Help may be requested at any point in a command by entering a question
mark ( ? ). If nothing matches, the Help list will be empty and you must
backup until entering a '?' shows the available options.
Two styles of Help are provided:
1. Full Help is available when you are ready to enter a command argument
(e.g. 'show ? ') and describes each possible argument.
2. Partial Help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered and you
want to know what arguments match the input (e.g. 'show pr?'.)
clear Clears statistical and log information. For example, enter clear ntp to
clear all NTP statistics. Enter clear ? to view a list of commands.
console-log Enables or disables console logging for the current session.
copy
Transfers files or writes configuration changes.
default Resets a parameter to its default setting. For example, enter default
access telnet port to reset the Telnet port to its default setting. Enter
default ? to view a list of default commands.
exit Go up one level in the command mode structure.
Exit from the command line interface and log out.
no Negates the argument. For example, if you enabled the logging console fea-
ture, and you want to disable it at a later time, enter no logging con-
sole to disable the logging console feature. Enter no ? to view a list of
arguments that you can use with the no command.
ping Use this command to verify station-to-station connectivity across the net-
work. The format is as follows:
ping <host name>|<IP address> [tries (1-32)> [delay]]
Where IP address is the hostname or IP address of the device, tries (optional)
is the number of attempts (1-32), delay (optional) is the number of seconds
between attempts. The DNS parameters must be configured if specifying
hostnames.
