13 COMMAND LINE USER INTERFACE
The command line interface is a password-protected English language command interpreter. The
command structure is based on a hierarchy of parameter mnemonics that can be displayed or
modified and additional commands that can activate subprograms, which may display reports,
such as the “ping” command, or run interactively, such as the “menu” command. Subsets of
parameters can be displayed by entering partial commands and the output of such long reports is
then processed by a filter similar to the “more” utility on Unix system or the “/p” option on many
MS-DOS commands.
Wherever logical, the hierarchy and mnemonics of parameters mirror the SNMP MIB structure.
A command line editor maintains a history of the previous 20 commands entered which can be
recalled using the up and down arrow keys. Any single command line can be edited using the
right, left, backspace and delete keys or canceled using the escape key.
