Chapter 1  Basic Configurations

While configuring BOOTP Client, go to these sections for information you are interested in:

l           CLI Features

l           Basic Configurations

1.1  CLI Features

This section covers the following topics:

l           Command Line Interface Overview

l           Online Help with Command Lines

l           Display Features

l           History Command

l           Command Line Error Information

l           Edit Features

l           Command Line view

1.1.1  Command Line Interface Overview

S5500-SI Series Ethernet Switches provide a series of configuration commands and command line interface for you to configure and maintain the Ethernet switches. The command line interface is featured by the following:

l           Configure the command levels to make sure that unauthorized users cannot use related commands to configure a switch.

l           You can enter <?> at any time to get the online help.

l           Provide network test commands, such as tracert, and ping, to help you to diagnose the network.

l           Provide plenty of detail debugging information to help you to diagnose and locate the network failures.

l           Provide a function similar to Doskey to execute a history command.

l           Adopt the partial match method to search for the keywords of a command line. You only need to enter a non-conflicting keyword to execute the command correctly.

1.1.2  Online Help with Command Lines

The following are the types of online help available with the CLI:

l           Full help

l           Fuzzy help

To obtain the desired help information, you can:

1)         Enter “?” in any view to access all the commands in this view and brief description about them as well.

<Sysname> ?

User view commands:

  backup             Backup next startup-configuration file to TFTP server

  boot-loader        Set boot loader

  bootrom            Update/read/backup/restore bootrom

  cd                 Change current directory

  clock              Specify the system clock

  cluster            Run cluster command

  copy               Copy from one file to another

  debugging          Enable system debugging functions

  delete             Delete a file

  dir                List files on a file system

  display            Show running system information

  <omitted>

2)         Enter a command and a “?” separated by a space. If "?" is at the position of a keyword, all the keywords are given with a brief description.

<Sysname> language-mode ?

  chinese  Chinese environment

  english  English environment

3)         Enter a command and a “?” separated by a space. If "?" is at the position of a parameter, the description about these parameters is given.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface Vlan-interface ?

  <1-4094>  VLAN interface

[Sysname] interface Vlan-interface 1 ?

  <cr>

[Sysname] interface Vlan-interface 1

Where, <cr> indicates that there is no parameter at this position. The command is then repeated in the next command line and executed if <Enter> is input.

4)         Enter a character string followed by a “?”. All the commands starting with this string are displayed.

<Sysname> pi?

   ping

5)         Enter a command followed by a character string and “?”. All the keywords starting with this string are listed.

<Sysname> display ver?

   version

6)         Press <tab> after entering the first several letters of a keyword to display the complete keyword, provided these letters can uniquely identify the keyword in this command.

7)         You can view the help information in Chinese with the language-mode command.

1.1.3  Display Features

CLI offers the following features:

l           It offers both English and Chinese help information. You can toggle between them.

l           When the information displayed exceeds one screen, you can pause using one of the methods shown in Table 1-1

Table 1-1 Display functions

Action

Function

Enter <Space> when information display pauses

Continues to display information of the next screen page

Enter <Enter> when information display pauses

Continues to display information of the next line.

Enter <Ctrl+C> when information display pauses

Stops the display and the command execution.

 

1.1.4  History Command

The CLI can automatically save the commands that have been entered. You can invoke and repeatedly execute them as needed. By default, the CLI can save up to ten commands for each user. Table 1-2 lists the operation that you can perform.

Table 1-2 Access history commands

To do…

Use the Key/command…

Result

View the history commands

display history-command

Displays the commands that you have entered

Access the last history command

Up-arrow key or <Ctrl+P>

Displays the earlier history command, if there is any. Otherwise, the system rings alarm.

Access the next history command

Down-arrow key or <Ctrl+N>

Displays the next history command, if there is any. Otherwise, the system clears the commands and rings alarm.

 

&  Note:

You may use arrow keys to access history commands in Windows 2000/XP Terminal or Telnet. However, the up-arrow and down-arrow keys are invalid in Windows 9X HyperTerminal, because they are defined in a different way. You can use <Ctrl+P> and <Ctrl+N> instead.

 

1.1.5  Command Line Error Information

The commands are executed only if they have no syntax error. Otherwise, error information is reported. Table 1-3 lists some common errors.

Table 1-3 Common command line errors

Error information

Cause

Unrecognized command

The command was not found.

The keyword was not found.

Parameter type error

The parameter value is beyond the allowed range.

Incomplete command

Incomplete command

Too many parameters

Too many parameters are input.

Ambiguous command

Parameter value input is ambiguous.

Wrong parameter

Wrong parameter

 

1.1.6  Edit Features

The CLI provides the basic command edit functions and supports multi-line editing. The maximum length of each command is 256 characters. Table 1-4 lists these functions.

Table 1-4 Edit functions

Key

Function

Common Keys

If the editing buffer is not full, insert the character at the position of the cursor and move the cursor to the right. Otherwise, the alarm rings.

<Backspace> key

Delete the character to the left of the cursor and move the cursor back one character. If the cursor gets to the beginning of the command line, the alarm rings.

Left-arrow key or <Ctrl+B>

The cursor moves one character space to the left, and the alarm rings when the cursor gets to the beginning of the command line.

Right-arrow key or <Ctrl+F>

The cursor moves one character space to the right, and the alarm rings when the cursor gets to end of the command line.

Up-arrow key or <Ctrl+P>

Display history command

Down-arrow key or <Ctrl+N>

<Tab> key

Pressing <Tab> after entering part of a keyword enables the fuzzy help function. If finding a unique match, the system will substitute the complete keyword for the incomplete one and display it in the next line. If there are several matches or no match at all, the system will not modify the incomplete keyword and display it again in the next line.

 

1.1.7  Command Line view

Different command views are implemented according to different requirements. They are related to one another. For example, after logging in the switch, you will enter user view, in which you can only use some basic functions such as displaying the running state and statistics information. In user view, key in system-view to enter system view, in which you can key in different configuration commands and enter the corresponding views.

The command line provides the following views:

l           User view

l           System view

l           Ethernet Port view

l           NULL interface view

l           VLAN view
