Entering Commands The command area of the Command Line Interface contains a Select menu option prompt that allows you to enter the commands in the menu area.

Commands are not case-sensitive.

To enter a simple command:

At the prompt, enter the name of the command.

To enter multiple commands:

At the prompt, enter each command in succession. For example, to enter the Protocol menu and change the Webcache IP configuration, enter:

protocol ip basicConfig

from the Top-level menu.

To enter commands that require values:

Append the values to the name of the command. For example, to display the system menu and change your password, enter:

If you do not specify values for a command that requires them, you are prompted to enter the values. At each prompt, the default value is displayed in brackets.

se pa <password>

from the Top-level menu.
