Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration 95
Command-Line Syntax – Entering Commands
You enter all configuration commands for the GigaVUE-OS in the command-line
interface. Enter commands by typing enough characters to uniquely identify the
command and pressing
<Enter> .
When entering commands, keep in mind the following rules:
• Successful commands return no response in the CLI; commands with errors return
an error response beginning with
% , followed by a short error description.
• All commands are case-sensitive.
• Aliases are case-sensitive and accept both lower and upper case – for example,
my_alias and My_Alias refer to two separate maps.
• The no command is used to remove configuration settings. For example no
connect alias myconnect deletes the named myconnect .
• Port numbers are entered in <chassis ID>/<slot ID>/<port ID> format. For
example, 1/1/x1 identifies the 10Gb port x1 in slot 1 on box 1.
• Strings must consist entirely of alphanumeric characters with no spaces. The only
exceptions are the underscore (
_ ) and hyphen ( - ) characters. Those are allowed.
For example, in Configure mode, port 1/1/g1 alias My_Alias is legal, but port 1/1/
g1 alias My Alias is not.

Some string fields do accept spaces provided the input is made inside
quotation marks (for example, the banner login command described in Using a
Custom Banner on page 110 ).
Configure Mode Syntax
Users of GigaVUE nodes may be accustomed to entering the word config before many
commands – config map , config port-filter , and so on. When using the GigaVUE-OS,
the “config” part of the command is implied whenever you are working in Configure
mode. The system prompt helps you remember this by including the word
(config) in
parentheses. For example:
(config) #
So, instead of entering config gigastream to set up a GigaStream consisting of
multiple ports, you just enter gigastream followed by the necessary arguments. The
config part is implied because you are already working in the Configure mode. For
example:
(config) # gigastream alias mystream port-list 1/1/x1..x4
