Chapter 15. Command Line Reference

This is a reference for the Command Line Interface (CLI), which can be accessed via the

serial console or SSH (see the chapter titled Basic Administration).

Command Reference

Here is a list of the commands available in the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Commands are presented like this: command [--ﬂag] parameter1|parameter2 [param-

eter3 ...]. An example is:

ping ip-address

--flag means that the ﬂag can modify the command in some way.

parameter1 means that the parameter1 (like "ip-address" in the example) should be re-

placed with a speciﬁed parameter of that type (like a real IP address, 193.180.23.23).

parameter1|parameter2 means that either parameter1 or parameter2 can be used.

[parameter3] means that this parameter is optional.

parameter3 ... means that this type of parameter can be used multiple times.
