Using the CLI
This section explains how to:
• Choose menu items.
• Enter values for parameters and options.
• Specify configured items by number or name.
• Navigate quickly—using shortcuts—through the menus.
• Display a brief help message.
• Save entries to the system configuration file.
• Stop the CLI.
• Understand CLI administrator access rights.
The CLI displays menus or prompts at every level to guide you in choosing configurable options and
setting parameters. The prompt always shows the menu context.
Choosing menu items
To use the CLI, enter a number at the prompt that corresponds to the desired menu item, and press Enter.
For example, this is the
Configuration > System > General > System Identification menu:
1) Set System Name
2) Set Contact
3) Set Location
4) Back
General -> _
Enter 1 to set the system name.
Entering values
The CLI shows any current or default value for a parameter in brackets [ ]. To change the value, enter
a new value at the prompt. To leave the value unchanged, just press
Enter.
Continuing the example above, this is the prompt to enter a value for the system name:
> Host Name
General -> [ Lab VPN ] _
You can enter a new name at the prompt, or just press Enter to keep the current name.
