Command Line Interface
Root> config
Config> port
Config.Port> name 4 "Sam’s Tape Drive"
To back up a level, enter two periods; for example:
Config.Port> ..
Config>
One approach to making the navigation more concise is to jump
directly to return to the root of the CLI command tree, to avoid
navigating back up the branch:
Config.Port> root
Root>
Another approach to making the navigation more concise is to use
the complete command syntax from the
Root>
prompt each time. For
example, to issue the config.port.name command and then the
maint.port.beacon
command, enter the commands similar to the
following:
Root> config port name 4 "Sam’s Tape Drive"
Root> maint port beacon 4 true
As shown in this example, use of the complete command syntax
avoids navigating up and down the levels of the CLI command tree,
and the prompt stays at the root level. The use of the complete
command syntax is particularly useful when writing scripts.
When coding a script, remember to code the appropriate character
sequences (described under Navigation Conventions on page E-5):
Root> config port name 4 "Sam’s Tape Drive"<CR>
Root> maint port beacon 4 true<CR>
Limitation on Movements
As commands are entered, they are recorded in a history log. Note
these limitations on movement that result from use of the history log:
◆
If a command has more than 60 characters, the command runs,
but the command is not recorded in the history log, and the
position in the tree does not change, as shown in the following
example. Because the command is not recorded in the history, a
subsequent asynchronous command (navigation command)
cannot depend on it.
