Appendix A About CONFIG Commands
About CONFIG Commands
You reach the configuration mode of the command line interface by typing con-
figure (or any truncation of configure, such as c
or config) at the CLI
SHELL prompt.
CONFIG Mode Prompt
When you are in CONFIG mode, the CLI prompt consists of the name of the Cay-
man Gateway followed by your current node in the hierarchy and two right angle
brackets (>>). For example, when you enter CONFIG mode (by typing config at
the SHELL prompt), the Coconut (top)>> prompt reminds you that you are at
the top of the CONFIG hierarchy. If you move to the ip node in the CONFIG hier-
archy (by typing ip at the CONFIG prompt), the prompt changes to Coconut
(ip)>> to identify your current location.
Some CLI commands are not available until certain conditions are met. For exam-
ple, you must enable IP for an interface before you can enter IP settings for that
interface.
Navigating the CONFIG Hierarchy
• Moving from CONFIG to SHELL — You can navigate from anywhere in the
CONFIG hierarchy back to the SHELL level by entering
quit at the CONFIG
prompt and pressing R
ETURN.
Dogzilla (top)>> quit
Dogzilla >
•
Moving from top to a subnode — You can navigate from the top node to a
subnode by entering the node name (or the significant letters of the node
name) at the CONFIG prompt and pressing R
ETURN. For example, you move
to the IP subnode by entering ip and pressing R
ETURN.
Dogzilla (top)>> ip
Dogzilla (ip)>>
As a shortcut, you can enter the significant letters of the node name in place of
the full node name at the CONFIG prompt. The significant characters of a node
name are the letters that uniquely identify the node. For example, since no other
CONFIG node starts with I, you could enter one letter (“
i”) to move to the IP
node.
• Jumping down several nodes at once — You can jump down several levels
in the CONFIG hierarchy by entering the complete path to a node.
• Moving up one node — You can move up through the CONFIG hierarchy
one node at a time by entering the up command.
• Jumping to the top node — You can jump to the top level from anywhere in
the CONFIG hierarchy by entering the top command.
