If a command is ambiguous or miskeyed, the CLI prompts you to enter additional information. For example, you must specify which virtual circuit you are configur- ing when you are setting up a Cayman Gateway.
Displaying Current Gateway Settings
You can use the view command to display the current CONFIG settings for your Cayman Gateway. If you enter the view command at the top level of the CON- FIG 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 Cayman 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 settings. If a setting has a default value or a current setting, the command line interface displays the default value for the command in paren- theses. If a command has a limited number of acceptable values, those values 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.
option (off) [on off]: on
You can accept the default value for a field by pressing the Return key. To use a different value, enter it and press Return.
You can enter the CONFIG step mode by entering set from the top node of the CONFIG hierarchy. You can enter step mode for a particular service by entering set service_name. For example:
119
