Command Line Interface Guide

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This manual contains information on the syntax and use of the Command Line Interface for the Efficient Networks family of business-class DSL routers. This manual is intended for small and home office users, remote office users, and other networking professionals who are installing and maintaining bridged and routed networks.

It assumes that you have read the User Reference Guide that came with the router and have installed the router as described in that guide. If the configuration is to include advanced functionality, a Technical Reference Guide has also been supplied that provides essential information on the application, configuration, and management of these features.

Configuration of network connections, bridging, routing, and security features are essentially the same for all DSL routers, unless otherwise noted.

As described in the User Reference Guide, a graphical interface is also available for configuring the router. It provides many, but not all, of the capabilities of the Command Line Interface. Look for the User Reference Guide in the box in which your router was shipped or find it on the Technical Support web site (www.efficient.com).

How This Manual is Organized

This manual is organized in two parts:

•How to Access the Command Line. Describes how to access the router command line from a PC so you can enter router commands.

•Command Reference. Provides a description and syntax for each command.
