Using the Command Line Interface

This section describes how to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure and manage the NH2025-10 switch.

Command Conventions

The following conventions are used within this guide to make understanding and using the CLI easier.

Command Items appearing in this typeface are to be typed as shown.

Italics Italicized items are variables and represent values. For example, <IPaddress> represents an IP address in dotted decimal notation as 123.1.2.3.

{ } Items in { } and separated by represent alternatives for the argument. For example:

get-comm {readwrite*}

means you can type one of the following:

get-comm read get-comm write

get-comm *

Command Line Help

The CLI provides command line help to ease in the entering of commands correctly. The following command line help is available:

Command parameter Help

Command group Help

Command wildcard Help

Command history

Getting Command Parameter Help

To get an explanation of a command’s parameters add a question mark (?) after the command name. For example:

SYS_console> ping ?

The unit displays the available parameters for the ping command:

ping IP traffic generator

[arg #0] destination IP address

[arg #1] number of packets to send or 0 for endless ping SYS_console> ping _

Note that the command is reprinted after the prompt. You can add the necessary parameters here. If a question mark is added after the first parameter, then the same explanation is provided, and the previous command, including the provided parameters, is redisplayed.
