About CONFIG Commands
You reach the configuration mode of the command line interface by typing configure (or any truncation of configure, such as con or config) at the CLI SHELL prompt.
CONFIG Mode Prompt
When you are in CONFIG mode, the CLI prompt consists of the name of the Motorola Netopia® Gateway fol- lowed by your current node in the hierarchy and two right angle brackets (>>). For example, when you enter CONFIG mode (by typing config at the SHELL prompt), the
Some CLI commands are not available until certain conditions are met. For example, you must enable IP for an interface before you can enter IP settings for that interface.
Navigating the CONFIG Hierarchy
•Moving from CONFIG to SHELL — You can navigate from anywhere in the CONFIG hierarchy back to
the SHELL level by entering quit at the CONFIG prompt and pressing RETURN.
•Moving from top to a subnode — You can navigate from the top node to a subnode by entering the node name (or the significant letters of the node name) at the CONFIG prompt and pressing RETURN. For
example, you move to the IP subnode by entering ip and pressing RETURN.
As a shortcut, you can enter the significant letters of the node name in place of the full node name at the CONFIG prompt. The significant characters of a node name are the letters that uniquely identify the node. For example, since no other CONFIG node starts with b, you could enter one letter (“b”) to move to the bridge node.
•Jumping down several nodes at once — You can jump down several levels in the CONFIG hierarchy by entering the complete path to a node.
•Moving up one node — You can move up through the CONFIG hierarchy one node at a time by entering the up command.
