About CONFIG Commands

You reach the configuration mode of the command line inter face by typing

configure

(or any truncation of

configure

, such as

con

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 Motorola Netopia® Gateway fol-
lowed 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

Netopia-3000/9437188 (top)>>

prompt reminds you that you are at the top of the CONFIG hierarchy. If you move to the

ip

node in the CON-

FIG hierarchy (by typing

ip

at the CONFIG prompt), the prompt changes to

Netopia-3000/9437188

(ip)>>

to identify your current location.

Some CLI commands are not available until cer tain conditions are met. For example, you must enable IP for
an inter face before you can enter IP settings for that inter face.

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

.

Netopia-3000/9437188 (top)>>

quit

Netopia-3000/9437188 >

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

.

Netopia-3000/9437188 (top)>>

ip

Netopia-3000/9437188 (ip)>>

As a shor tcut, 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 star ts with b, you could enter one letter (“

b

”) to move to the

bridge 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.
