4.2.2 Command Line Interface
I. Characteristics of CLI
The command line interface (CLI) offers a series of configuration commands. It allows
you to:
z
Configure the device locally through the console port.
z
Telnet to configure the device locally or remotely, and then telnet to access and
manage other devices.
z
Get on-line help whenever you enter <?>.
z
Test network connectivity quickly with network diagnostic tools, such as
tracert
and
ping
.
z
Have detailed debugging information for troubleshooting your network.
z
Enter the conflict-free keyword portion instead of the whole command, because
the CLI supports command prompting. For example, you simply need to enter
“
dis
” for the
display
command.
II. CLI
In system view, all the commands are put into groups for the convenience of
management, each being associated to a view. You can switch between the views by
executing some particular commands. Under normal circumstances, you can only
execute the commands appropriate to the view that you access. However, you are
allowed to execute some common commands (such as
ping
,
display
,
current-configuration
, and
interface
) in any view.
