Displaying Current Gateway Settings
You can use the view command to display the current CONFIG settings for your Motorola Netopia® Gate- way. 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.
Step Mode: A CLI Configuration Technique
The Motorola Netopia® Gateway command line interface includes a step mode to automate the process of entering configuration settings. When you use the CONFIG step mode, the command line interface prompts you for all required and optional information. You can then enter the configuration values appropriate for your site without having to enter complete CLI commands.
When you are in step mode, the command line interface prompts you to enter required and optional set- tings. If a setting has a default value or a current setting, the command line interface displays the default value for the command in parentheses. If a command has a limited number of acceptable values, those val- ues are presented in brackets, with each value separated by a vertical line. For example, the following CLI step command indicates that the default value is off and that valid entries are limited to on and off.
