Using the no and default command forms
1
anytime at the command line please press '?'.
If nothing matches, the help list will be empty and you must backup
until entering a '?' shows the available options.
Two styles of help are provided:
1. Full help is available when you are ready to enter a
command argument (e.g. 'show ?') and describes each possible
argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered
and you want to know what arguments match the input
(e.g. 'show ve?'.)

Using the no and default command forms
Almost every command has a
no
form. Use no to disable a feature or function. Use the command
without the
no
keyword to re-enable a disabled feature or enable a feature disabled by default.
Basic conventions
Keep the following conventions in mind while working within the CLI:
•
Use ? at the end of a command to display available sub-modes . Type the first few characters
of the sub-mode and press the tab key to add the sub-mode. Continue using ? until you reach
the last sub-mode
•
Pre-defined CLI commands and keywords are case-insensitive:
cfg = Cfg = CFG
. However (for
clarity), CLI commands and keywords are displayed (in this guide) using mixed case. For
example,
apPolicy
,
trapHosts
,
channelInfo
•
Enter commands in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. Only passwords are case sensitive
•
If an instance name (or other parameter) contains whitespace, the name must be enclosed in
quotes
RFController.(Cfg)> spol "Default Controller Policy"
RFController.(Cfg).SPolicy.[Default Controller Policy]>
NOTE
Commands starting with
#
at the
RFController#
prompt are ignored and not executed. Any space
before a CLI command is ignored in execution.

•
Moving the cursor on the command line
