Chapter 5 Avaya CLI – Architecture, Access & Conventions
Command Line Prompt
When you start the CLI, the initial prompt shows the number of the Master module in the Avaya P330 stack. For example, if the stack Master is Module 5, counting from the bottom up, then the prompt is:
In this document the Module number in the prompt is generic and is represented by “N”.
If you wish to open a session with an Avaya
The command prompt is not hierarchical in structure. If you wish to use several commands, each beginning with the same keyword, you must retype all parts of the command each time. For example, if after you want to set the system contact and the system name you must type both set system contact and set system name. However, you can use command abbreviations.
Avaya P330 Sessions
You can use sessions to switch between P330 modules or to switch between Layer 2 and Layer 3 commands in the P333R CLI.
To switch between P330 modules use the command: session [<mod_num>] <mode>.
The <mod_num> is the number of the module in the stack, counting from the bottom up. The <mode> can be either switch or router. When Module Number is not specified, the command switches between the modes in the local module. Use switch mode to configure layer 2 commands. Use router mode to configure routing commands.
Examples:
To configure router parameters in the module that you are currently logged into, type the following command:
session router.
To configure the switch parameters, on module 6, type the command: session 6 switch.
Note: When you use the session command the security level stays the same.
