User's Manual

to edit the command from the end. Up to 15 previously entered commands can be
invoked through ^p’s and ^n’s.
 If a keyword is expected when the user types “ ?”, all valid keywords will be displayed. The
command typed in so far will then be displayed again along with the cursor sitting at the
end, waiting for the user to continue.
 If the user types in part of the keyword but does not type in the entire word, the user can
then enter a tab or space for the system to automatically complete the keyword if the
characters typed in so far can uniquely identify the keyword. If the characters typed in so
far do not uniquely identify a keyword, a list of possible keywords will be displayed.
If the user is not sure what to type next, he or she can type "?” to display the possible
keywords that match the current CLI command input.
If an interactive mode is entered, the system will prompt for each required parameter, such as:
…
Command> add radius server primary
enter server IP (Unspecified): 192.168.1.10
enter port number (1812, 1-65535): 1812
enter shared secret:
…
The first prompt means current IP setting is not specified yet, and there is no default for that.
The second prompt means a number between 1 and 65535 is expected, with 1812 being the
default.
During the first time a particular parameter is configured, typing a carriage return will cause the
default value to be selected. Otherwise, typing a carriage return means no change to the
current value.
Express Mode vs. Advanced Mode of operation
The Command Line Interface operates in one of two modes: Express Mode or Advanced
Mode
. In Express Mode, not all parameters are displayed. Default values are set for those
parameters not displayed in multi-line commands. In Advanced Mode, users have the option
to modify all possible values appropriate to each operation.
The user can toggle between Express Mode and Advanced Mode by typing ^E (Control-E) at
any time. Normally, the system prompt will be changed by appending “>>” to the configured
prompt when in Advanced Mode.
