The only commands you cannot truncate are restart and clear . To prevent accidental
interruption of communications, you must enter the restart and clear commands in their
entirety.
You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and forward through recent
commands you have entered. Alternatively, you can use the !! command to repeat the last
command you entered.
SHELL Commands
Common Commands
arp nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
Sends an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request to match the nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn IP
address to an Ethernet hardware address.
clear [yes]
Clears the configuration settings in a Netopia Gateway. If you do not use the optional yes
qualifier, you are prompted to confirm the clear command.
configure
Puts the command line interface into Configure mode, which lets you configure your Neto-
pia Gateway with Config commands. Config commands are described starting on page
173.
diagnose
Runs a diagnostic utility to conduct a series of internal checks and loopback tests to verify
network connectivity over each interface on your Netopia Gateway. The console displays
the results of each test as the diagnostic utility runs. If one test is dependent on another,
the diagnostic utility indents its entry in the console window. For example, the diagnostic
utility indents the Check IP connect to Ethernet (LAN) entry, since that test will not run if
the Check Ethernet LAN Connect test fails.
