INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information on the syntax and use of the Command Line
Interface for the Efficient Networks family of business-class DSL routers. This manual
is intended for small and home office users, remote office users, and other networking
professionals who are installing and maintaining bridged and routed networks.
It assumes that you have read the User Reference Guide that came with the router
and have installed the router as described in that guide. If the configuration is to
include advanced functionality, a Technical Reference Guide has also been supplied
that provides essential information on the application, configuration, and management
of these features.
Configuration of network connections, bridging, routing, and security features are
essentially the same for all DSL routers, unless otherwise noted.
As described in the User Reference Guide, a graphical interface is also available for
configuring the router. It provides many, but not all, of the capabilities of the Command
Line Interface. Look for the User Reference Guide in the box in which your router was
shipped or find it on the Technical Support web site (www.efficient.com).

This manual is organized in two parts:
•
How to Access the Command Line. Describes how to access the router
command line from a PC so you can enter router commands.
•
Command Reference. Provides a description and syntax for each command.
