NCL Command Operation

NCL Command Operation

Some NCL commands like Ping (which tests your access to a specific IP address), require you to type an argument after the command. Others, like Boot (which reboots the router) do not. Some ‘‘expandable’’ commands, like Time (which displays the time and date and can also be used to reset the time and date), give you the option of differing responses, depending on whether you want the minimal or expanded functionality of the command. Also, some commands invoke responses that can be displayed in a single screen. Others require scrolling through one or more additional screens.

How To Execute an NCL Command

To execute an NCL command:

1.Type the command name.

2.Type the required argument, if any, and any optional arguments you want to use.

3.Press [Return].

For example, to change the current time in the router to 12:00, you would type

time 12:00:00

and press [Return].
