Note: If you press the RETURN key immediately after the prompt, it has the same
effect as entering the
up
command.
If you are at a particular point in the hierarchy and you need to perform a
command elsewhere in the hierarchy, you must enter the slash symbol (/) followed
by the full hierarchical path followed by the command. For example:
This command will list information about virtual ports while you are in the
route
functional group. After the command has been executed you will still be in the
route
functional group.
Note:
After resetting a module, some of the CLI commands may not be available
immediately. Wait a few seconds until all the software has initialized.
Master Agent and Sub Agent Commands
The Master Agent and Sub Agent have slightly different CLI options. For example,
the Master Agent has the “ip” command and the “access” command which will
enable you to access a Sub Agent from the Master Agent. A simple way to find out
whether you are currently communicating with a Master Agent is to type “help” at
the command line and check whether there is an “access” command option.
All the information configured to the Master Agent (IP, Permanent Managers) is
backed up by the Sub Agent, so if the Master Agent is removed, another module
will be elected and all previous configuration settings will be kept.
Command hierarchy
The hierarchy of the commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) can be
obtained at any time by typing
tree
. The
tree
command can be used at the
prompt of any functional group to view the sub-commands of the group.
