Command Line Interface Conventions
The NETServer Plus’ Command Line Interface (CLI) is an
interactive application that allows you to view information and
set system parameters. This section provides general
information about CLI command conventions and usage.
Most commands are not case sensitive
You can type most commands and parameters in upper or lower
case except for <name> and [password] values which require
typing the correct case. AppleTalk zones specified in the wrong
case will also return an incorrect value.
Many commands are position independent, multi-tiered
and use keywords
Multi-tiered commands let you type the base command (e.g.: set
interface) and implement many more parameters (host_type,
host_address, etc). Position independence does not require all
parameters to be specified at once, nor in sequence, to work. But
typing a keyword in the base command such as network in set ip
network is mandatory to enable the command.
You can abbreviate commands
You can abbreviate most commands and command options with
the first few letters that distinguish that command from any
other. For example, while the full command to list TCP
connections is list tcp connections, you need only type list tcp c
to invoke the command.
Note: The CLI will display an error message if you enter an
abbreviated command that is ambiguous.
