Using Unified Configuration Interface (UCI)
The system uses Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) for central configuration
management. Most common and useful configuration settings can be accessed and
configured using the UCI system.
UCI consists of a Command Line Utility (CLI), the files containing the actual configuration
data, and scripts that take the configuration data and apply it to the proper parts of the
system, such as the networking interfaces. Entering the command '
uci
' on its own will
display the list of valid arguments for the command and their format.
root@VA_router:/lib/config# uci
Usage: uci [<options>] <command> [<arguments>]
Commands:
export [<config>]
import [<config>]
changes [<config>]
commit [<config>]
add <config> <section-type>
add_list <config>.<section>.<option>=<string>
show [<config>[.<section>[.<option>]]]
get <config>.<section>[.<option>]
set <config>.<section>[.<option>]=<value>
delete <config>[.<section[.<option>]]
rename <config>.<section>[.<option>]=<name>
revert <config>[.<section>[.<option>]]
Options:
-c <path> set the search path for config files (default: /etc/config)
-d <str> set the delimiter for list values in uci show
-f <file> use <file> as input instead of stdin
-m when importing, merge data into an existing package
