COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE (CLI)

This chapter describes the SG-1 Command-Line Interface (CLI), the steps to access the CLI, and the steps to perform initial configuration using the CLI.

OVERVIEW

The SG-1 Service Gateway System management interface is accessed using a CLI, which provides comprehensive SG-1 system management including configuration, performance monitoring, and system maintenance and administration. An SG-1 Service Gateway System comprises an SG-1 10U Chassis with associated Service Creation Cards (10/100 SCC, GiG-E SCC, ATM/GiG-E SCC) and rear I/O cards.

The command-line interface is accessed through the SCC (or rear I/O card if installed) COM port using either a terminal connected directly to the COM port or over a network using a Telnet session. You can connect your Telnet session from:

A PC connected on the SG-1 Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).

OR

A remote PC connected over a router to the SG-1 Ethernet port.

This chapter provides an introduction to the command-line interface structure and then provides information on how to use it.

UNDERSTANDING THE INTERFACE STRUCTURE

The command-line interface has four system management menus for administration, configuration, display, and diagnostics.

These four system management menus comprise four sub-menus (Configuration, Main, Debug, and Configuration- Debug). Table 3-1provides a description of these sub-menus and their associated commands.
