Command Help
– Type a command
followed by a question mark to see all
possible arguments for the command as
entered. If the system returns
<cr>
, that
means the command can be entered
as-is.
For example, if you entered
gigastream ?
, you would
see
alias
. You can build your way through the entire
command tree by entering
?
after each new
argument. For example, after entering
gigastream
alias myalias ?
, you would see the next valid
argument –
port-list
.
N
OTE
:
Typing
?
accesses the help system immediately –
you do not need to press
<Enter>
.
Partial Command
Entry
For all GigaVUE TA Series commands and arguments,
you only need to enter enough characters to
distinguish the command from all other available
commands. So, for example, you do not have to enter
the full command
username
– there is only one
command starting with the letter
u
, so you only have to
enter
u
.
Command
Completion
If you have partially typed a command, you can press
Tab
and the CLI will attempt to complete the
command for you based on what’s been entered so far.
It is helpful to use the Command Completion feature
together with partial command entry – you can press
Tab while entering a command to see a list of all
available commands matching what you’ve entered so
far. For example, you can press
p<Tab>
and the system
will return:
pass-all ping port port-pair
Based on this information, you know that you only
need to enter the letter
pa
to uniquely identify what
you’ve entered as
pass-all.
Command-Line Syntax – Entering Commands
You enter configuration commands for the GigaVUE TA Series node in the command-line
interface by typing enough characters to uniquely identify the command and pressing
