How the Command-line Interface Works

Chapter 3 How to Use the Command-line Interface

The command-line interface provides a set of commands that you can use to configure the M770 ATM Switch. The commands are arranged in a hierarchy such that related commands are grouped together in a single functional group. A functional group can also contain one or more functional groups, and so forth. When you login to the command-line interface, you will be placed at the root of the hierarchy. To perform an operation using a command, you will need to specify the full hierarchical path followed by the command. For example:

M15-155s8:/>route show

This command shows routes in the routing table and is contained in the route functional group. Alternatively, you can descend the hierarchy by typing:

M15-155s8:/>route

This will cause the prompt to change, displaying the position in the hierarchy:

M15-155s8:/route>

You can now perform the command simply by typing show, as follows:

M15-155s8:/route>show

The advantage of descending the hierarchy is that you can perform multiple related commands without having to type them out in full (that is, specifying their full hierarchical path).

Note: You do not need to enter all the letters of a command: you need only enter sufficient letters to uniquely identify it from other commands in the directory. For example, instead of typing route show you could just enter r s in the command-line interface. You can also use the TAB key to complete the full command.

Table 3.1 lists the commands that are used to navigate the hierarchy.
