THE CLI AND PROTOCOL MONITOR
CHAPTER 5: THE CLI AND PROTOCOL MONITOR
Most of the basic commands preface a subset of more specific commands. You can
execute any specific command from the
MN4#
prompt in the following syntax:
MN4
# basic_command specific_command parameters
After execution of such a command you are returned to the
MN4#
prompt. For example,
MN4
# session set timeout 30min
MN4
#
For most basic commands you have the option to issue the basic command followed by
nothing to enter a specialized mode for that basic command that will automatically
preface all specific commands with the basic command. For example,
MN4
# session
MN4
(session)#set timeout 30min
MN4
(session)#
While the CLI is displaying a specialized mode prompt you can type "?" to see a list of the
commands specific to that basic command. For example, typing a "?" at the
MN4(session)#
prompt produces the following list of available commands and
parameters.
