Motorola 3397GP manual Entering Commands in Config Mode, Set ip ethernet a ipaddress, 146

Administrator’s Handbook

❑Moving from any subnode to any other subnode — You can move from any subnode to any other subnode by entering a partial path that starts with a top-level CONFIG command.

❑Scrolling backward and forward through recent commands — You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll backward and forward through recent commands you have entered. When the command you want appears, press Enter to execute it.

Entering Commands in CONFIG Mode

CONFIG commands consist of keywords and arguments. Keywords in a CONFIG command specify the action you want to take or the entity on which you want to act. Arguments in a CONFIG command specify the values appropriate to your site. For example, the CONFIG command

set ip ethernet A ip_address

consists of two keywords (ip, and ethernet A) and one argument (ip_address). When you use the command to configure your Gateway, you would replace the argument with a value appropriate to your site.

For example:

set ip ethernet A 192.31.222.57

Guidelines: CONFIG Commands

The following table provides guidelines for entering and formatting CONFIG commands.

	You can truncate CONFIG verbs to three characters (set, vie, del).
	CONFIG verbs are case-insensitive.You can enter “SET,” “Set,” or “set.”
Keywords	Keywords are case-insensitive.You can enter “Ethernet,” “ETHERNET,” or “ethernet” as a
	keyword without changing its meaning.

	words.

	cases they may be as long as 255 bytes.
	Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
	Text strings may be enclosed in double (“) or single (‘) quote marks. If the text string
	includes an embedded space, it must be enclosed in quotes.

If a command is ambiguous or miskeyed, the CLI prompts you to enter additional information. For exam- ple, you must specify which virtual circuit you are configuring when you are setting up a Motorola Neto- pia® Gateway.

Displaying Current Gateway Settings

You can use the view command to display the current CONFIG settings for your Motorola Netopia® Gateway. If you enter the view command at the top level of the CONFIG hierarchy, the CLI displays the settings for all enabled functions. If you enter the view command at an intermediate node, you see settings for that node and its subnodes.
