Introduction to CLI
This chapter introduces the line commands.
29.1 Command Line Interface Overview
In addition to the SMT, you can use line commands to configure the Prestige. It is
recommended that you use the SMT for everyday management of the Prestige and that you use
line commands for advanced Prestige diagnosis and troubleshooting. If you have problems
with your Prestige, customer support may request that you issue some of these commands to
assist them in troubleshooting.
29.1.1 Accessing the Command Line Interface
There are two ways to access the command line interface on the Prestige:
• Telnet to the Prestige
• Connect a computer to the console port and use terminal emulation software configured
to the following parameters:
• VT100 terminal emulation
• 9600 bps
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
• No flow control
29.1.2 Command Conventions
The system uses a one-level command structure. You must type the full command every time,
as follows.
