46 CHAPTER 2: ABOUT THE COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
Physical Interface Mode
Physical interface mode allows for the administration of a specified interface,
including interface-specific configurat ion and information displays. To enter
this mode, you must specify the chassis/slot/port-number (c/s/i) combination
that identifies the physical interface that you want to configure. After you
enter this mode, all configuration that you perform pertains to the interface
that you specified.
To enter interface configuration mode, type interface <c/s/i> from within
any configuration mode. The CLI automatically displays the type of interface
for the specific c/s/i. The following tables list interface commands by type:
■Table2-3 — Lists available DOCSIS interface mode commands as they
appear when you type help at the command prompt.
■Table2-4 — Lists available E thernet interface mode commands as they
appear when you type help at the command prompt.
■Table2-5 — Lists available POS interface mode commands as they appear
when you type help at the command prompt.
Keep in mind that the help command output displays many commands in
their abbreviated form. Also keep in mind that global commands are not
listed in any of these tables and can be found in Table 2-1 on page 42.
NOTE: The commands displayed via help, ?, and through the double Tab
action are relevant to the selected interface.
