Once you have logged into the manager account you are able to enter
commands from this guide and from the AT-8800 Series Switch Software
Reference.
Using the Commands
You control the switch with commands described in this document and in the
AT-8800 Series Switch Software Reference. While the keywords in commands are
not case sensitive, the values entered for some parameters are (especially
passwords). The switch supports command line editing and recall. Command
line editing functions and keystrokes are shown in Table2 on page 18.
The switch assumes that the width of the terminal screen is 80 characters, and
performs command line wrapping at the 80th column regardless of the setting
of the terminal. To execute a command the cursor does not need to be at the
end of the line. The default editing mode is insert mode. Characters are
inserted at the cursor position and any characters to the right of the cursor are
pushed to the right to make room. In overstrike mode, characters are inserted
at the cursor position and replace any existing characters.
Commands are limited to 1000 characters, excluding the prompt. Pathnames of
up to 256 characters, including file names, and file names up to 16 characters
long, with extensions of 3 characters, are supported.
