Chapter 3 How to Use the Command-line Interface

Note: If you press the RETURN key immediately after the prompt, it has the same effect as entering the up command.

If you are at a particular point in the hierarchy and you need to perform a command elsewhere in the hierarchy, you must enter the slash symbol (/) followed by the full hierarchical path followed by the command. For example:

M15-155s8:/route>/vport show

This command will list information about virtual ports while you are in the route functional group. After the command has been executed you will still be in the route functional group.

Note: After resetting a module, some of the CLI commands may not be available immediately. Wait a few seconds until all the software has initialized.

Master Agent and Sub Agent Commands

The Master Agent and Sub Agent have slightly different CLI options. For example, the Master Agent has the “ip” command and the “access” command which will enable you to access a Sub Agent from the Master Agent. A simple way to find out whether you are currently communicating with a Master Agent is to type “help” at the command line and check whether there is an “access” command option.

All the information configured to the Master Agent (IP, Permanent Managers) is backed up by the Sub Agent, so if the Master Agent is removed, another module will be elected and all previous configuration settings will be kept.

Command hierarchy

The hierarchy of the commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) can be obtained at any time by typing tree. The tree command can be used at the prompt of any functional group to view the sub-commands of the group.
