Command Reference
The MGX 8260 Media Gateway Media Gateway uses a command line interface for system
administration, configuration, and service provisioning. This chapter covers the security requirement,
syntax, general description, example, and related topics for each command.
Command Line Interface Guidelines
The MGX 8260 Media Gateway command line interface supports write and read commands. The MGX
8260 Media Gateway command line interface translates write commands to SNMP Set requests. You
can often identify write commands by their names—add, delete (del), and change (ch). Read commands
are translated into SNMP Get requests, and often have a list (ls) prefix.
Command Syntax
In this document, the command name is shown first in bold type, followed by parameters in italics. If
the parameters are optional, they are enclosed in square brackets. In the online Help, parameters are
shown in angle brackets.
Optional Parameters
If you do not enter optional parameters for a command, either the default values take effect or there is
no change in the optional settings. Default values take effect when you use add commands without the
optional parameters. No change is made when you omit parameters for other commands, such as add
and change.
You can simply omit optional parameters at the end of a command string, but you must use a # symbol
if you omit optional parameters in the middle of a command string.

Security Levels
The MGX 8260 Media Gateway command line interface enforces security with user names, passwords,
and access privileges. The Command Modes section of the command reference shows a security level
for each command. See Table 2-1 on page 2-2 for a definition of these levels.
