Entering Commands

When typing a command, remember the following:

vType only enough sequential letters of the command to make it unique among the available commands. For example, to execute the reload command you must enter rel as a minimum. The minimum number of required characters are underlined in the command syntax chapters.

vCommands are not case-sensitive.

vSometimes, only the ®rst letter of the command (and subsequent options) is required to execute the command. For example, typing s at the * prompt followed by pressing the Enter key causes the status command to be executed.

Connecting to a Process

When you start the router, the console displays a boot message. The OPCON prompt (*) then appears on the screen indicating that you are in the OPCON process and you can begin entering OPCON commands. This is the command prompt from which you communicate with different processes.

To connect your console to a process:

1.Find out the process ID (PID) number of a process by entering the status command at the * prompt.

The status command displays information about the router processes, such as the process IDs (PIDs), process names and status of the process. Issuing the status command is shown in the following example:

* status
