4-2 Command Line Interface Commands Reference

VT100 Command Line Console

The router’s console user interface comes up in Menu mode by default. In this mode you use the arrow, Escape, and Return/Enter keys to navigate through a series of screens. To invoke the command line at any time, hit Control-N. The console will erase the window, and you will be presented with a # prompt. The procedure for invoking the file transfer via the command line console is described in the section “Miscellaneous Commands” on page 2-103. To return to Menu mode hit Control-N again.

A command that contains a syntax error will cause the configuration file processing to terminate. Any valid commands that were processed before the error was detected will modify the configuration of the router. The error will be reported in the Device Event History, which will display as much of the text of the offending command as possible.
