Command availability by device type
The command reference provides details on each of the generally
available commands in the system. In addition it specifies the scope of
each command, that is, where this command can be used.
Some commands however, may be available for a particular type of
device and may not be applied to other types. Section xxx3 of this manual
contains a detailed list, specifying the available commands for each type
of device.
Wildcard character usage
In cases where the user wishes to apply the same command for devices
on the system, he/she may do so using the wildcard character ‘*’ in the
indexing information.
The following examples illustrate the use of the wildcard character.
config 3 2 loc bwdown 70
– normal usage - set the downstream
bandwidth of channel 2 on slot 3 to 70Mbps
config 3 * loc bwdown 70
– set the downstream bandwidth of all
channels on slot 3 to 70Mbps
config * 1 loc bwdown 70
– set the downstream bandwidth of
channel 1 on all slots to 70Mbps
config * * loc bwdown 70
– set the downstream bandwidth of all
channels on all slots to 70Mbps
show 3 * loc
– display the status and configuration of all channels of
the module in slot 3
Command abbreviations
The
config
and
view|show
keywords can be abbreviated down to the
shortest string that is still not conflicting with any other command. For
example, in current version, typing
con…
would be interpreted as
config…
. same will apply to using
sh
instead of
show
or using
vi
instead of
view
.
Please note that indexing information in the command must be supplied in
full (strict syntax).
All commands are case sensitive
The CLI mechanism is case sensitive and will not accept commands given
in wrong case. Generally, all commands and modifiers are given in
lowercase. Special cases are noted on the commands reference.
String parameters can have both uppercase and lowercase.
