Using Strings
Since there are several string objects supported by the AP, a string delimiter is required for the strings to be interpreted
correctly by the command line parser. For this CLI implementation, the single quote or double quote character can be
used at the beginning and at the end of the string.
For example:
[Device-Name]>
set sysname Lobby
- Does not need quote marks
[Device-Name]>
set sysname “Front Lobby”
- Requires quote marks.
The scenarios supported by this CLI are:
The string delimiter does not have to be used for every string object. The single quote or double quote only has to be
used for string objects that contain blank space characters. If the string object being used does not contain blank
spaces, then the string delimiters, single or double quotes, mentioned in this section are not required.
