The Three Basic Types of Commands
You can encounter the following three basic types of commands in the CLI:
• Entry commands to enter a configuration mode. Commands that let you enter a
configuration mode from which you can configure various keywords and associated
parameters and keywords. For example, the net wan wan1 ipv4 configure
command lets you enter the net-config [wan1-ipv4] mode, from which you can configure
the IPv4 WAN settings.
This type of command is the most common in the CLI and is always indicated by two
steps in this manual, each one showing the format and mode:
Sometimes, you need to enter a parameter to enter a configuration mode. For example,
security schedules edit <row id> requires you to enter the row ID parameter to
enter the security-config [schedules] mode, from which you can modify various keywords
and associated parameters and keywords.
• Commands with a single parameter. Commands that require you to supply one or more
parameters and that do not let you enter another configuration mode. The parameter is
usually a row ID or a name. For example, security firewall ipv4 delete
<row id> requires you to enter the row ID parameter to delete the firewall rule.
For this type of command, the format and mode are shown in this manual:
• Commands without parameters. Commands that do not require you to supply a
parameter after the command and that do not let you enter another configuration mode.
For example, util restore_factory_defaults does not require parameters.
For this type of command also, the format and mode are shown in this manual:
Step 1 Format net wan wan1 ipv4 configure
Mode net
Step 2 Format This section shows the keywords and associated parameters, for example:
isp_connection_type {STATIC | DHCPC | PPPoE | PPTP}
Mode net-config [wan1-ipv4]
Format security firewall ipv4 delete <row id>
Mode security
Format util restore_factory_defaults
Mode util
