Device configuration using the command line interface
The
config
command allows for device configuration from the command line. All configuration tasks
that can be performed by using the WebUI can also be performed by using the
config
command.
There are two ways to invoke the
config
command from the CLI:
n
Execute the
config
command and parameters at the root prompt. See
commands at the root Admin CLI prompt
for more information.
n
Enter configuration mode by executing the
config
command without any parameters. See
for more information.
Execute configuration commands at the root Admin CLI prompt
You can execute the
config
command at the root Admin CLI prompt with any appropriate parameters.
When the
config
command is used in this way, changes to the device's configuration are
automatically saved when the command is executed.
For example, to disable the SSH service from the root prompt, enter the following command:
> config service ssh enable false
>
The IX14 device's ssh service is now disabled.
Note
When the
config
command is executed at the root prompt, certain configuration actions that
are available in configuration mode cannot be performed. This includes validating configuration
changes, canceling and reverting configuration changes, and performing actions on elements in lists.
See
for information about using configuration mode.
Display help for the config command from the root Admin CLI
prompt
Display additional configuration commands, as well as available parameters and values, by entering
the question mark (?) character after the
config
command.
1. For example:
> config ?
Will display the following help information:
> config ?
