Allied Telesis AT-WR4500 manual Command Action, Prints the IP address table

AT-WR4500 Series - IEEE 802.11abgh Outdoor Wireless Routers	17
RouterOS v3 Configuration and User Guide

A command or an argument does not need to be completed, if it is not ambiguous. For example, instead of typing interface you can type just in or int. To complete a command use the [Tab] key.

￿

The completion is optional and you can just use short command and parameter names

The commands may be invoked from the menu level, where they are located, by typing its name. If the command is in a different menu level than the current one, then the command should be invoked using its full (absolute) or relative path, for example:

[admin@AT-WR4562] ip route> print	Prints the routing table
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip route> .. address print	Prints the IP address table
[admin@AT-WR4562] ip route> /ip address print	Prints the IP address table

The commands may have arguments. The arguments have their names and values. Some commands, may have a required argument that has no name.

Command	Action
command [Enter]	Executes the command
[?]	Shows the list of all available commands
command [?]	Displays help on the command and the list of arguments
command argument	Displays help on the command's argument
[?]
[Tab]	Completes the command/word. If the input is ambiguous, a second [Tab] gives
	possible options
/	Moves up to the base level
/command	Executes the base level command
..	Moves up one level
""	Specifies an empty string
"word1 word2"	Specifies a string of 2 words that contain a space

You can abbreviate names of levels, commands and arguments.

For the IP address configuration, instead of using the address and netmask arguments, in most cases you can specify the address together with the number of true bits in the network mask, i.e., there is no need to specify the netmask separately. Thus, the following two entries would be equivalent:

/ip address add address 10.0.0.1/24 interface ether1

/ip address add address 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 interface ether1

￿

You must specify the size of the network mask in the address argument, even if it is the 32-bit subnet, i.e., use 10.0.0.1/32 for address=10.0.0.1 netmask=255.255.255.255.

At the factory an IP address (192.168.1.1/24) is pre-configured to allow to use application such us Telnet, WinBox or HTTP Web GUI, from the Ethernet interface ether1 connecting a PC configured with an IP Address on the same IP subnet, i.e. 192.168.1.100/24. Whenever the AT-WR4500 will be reset back the default setting, via the command /system reset-configuration, this IP address will not be restored into the router running configuration. Connecting the console cable is possible to configure the IP address using the commands reported here above.
