Naming RS Ports CLI and RS Basics
Command Completion
The
cli set command completion
command controls the behavior of the CLI as commands are entered. When
command completion is enabled, the CLI automatically completes a command keyword that is partially entered. To
execute, type enough characters of a command keyword to uniquely identify it and the press the Space Bar. The CLI
completes the command word and moves to the next command entry point.
In the configure mode, this command enables or disables command completion for the entire system. In the enable
mode, the command only affects the current session.
Command History
Command history is a buffer that holds a list of commands that were executed during a CLI session. The
cli set
history
command specifies the number of commands that will be stored in the command history buffer. Commands
stored in the buffer can be recalled without typing the complete command again. When the ↑ key is pressed, the CLI
displays the commands that were entered. Additionally, all the commands that were executed during a CLI session can
be displayed using the
cli show history
command.
Terminal Display
The CLI also provides commands for setting the terminal display. Row (horizontal) and column (vertical) of the
display can be changed using the
cli set terminal
command.
3.7 NAMING RS PORTS
Much of the work done in the CLI is configuring ports on an RS. The name of a port is required to configure the port.
The CLI provides commands to name ports. The figure below shows two 1000 Base-SX ports on a line card.
Each port on the RS is named in the following manner:
• For channelized ports:
<type>.<slot-number>.<port-number>[:<channel-number>][.<vc>]
• For other ports, including unchannelized T1/E1:
<type>.<slot-number>.<port-number>[.<vc>]
The various parts of the port specification are described in the following sections.
