❑ Moving from any subnode to any other subnode — You can move from any subnode to any other
subnode by entering a par tial path that star ts with a top-level CONFIG command.
❑ Scrolling backward and forward through recent commands — You can use the Up and Down
arrow keys to scroll backward and for ward through recent commands you have entered. When the
command you want appears, press Enter to execute it.
Entering Commands in CONFIG Mode
CONFIG commands consist of keywords and arguments. Keywords in a CONFIG command specify the
action you want to take or the entity on which you want to act. Arguments in a CONFIG command specify
the values appropriate to your site. For example, the CONFIG command
set ip ethernet A ip_address
consists of two keywords ( ip , and ethernet A ) and one argument (ip_address). When you use
the command to configure your Gateway, you would replace the argument with a value appropriate to
your site.
For example:
set ip ethernet A 192.31.222.57
Guidelines: CONFIG Commands
The following table provides guidelines for entering and formatting CONFIG commands.
If a command is ambiguous or miskeyed, the CLI prompts you to enter additional information. For exam-
ple, you must specify which vir tual circuit you are configuring when you are setting up a Motorola Neto-
pia® Gateway.
Displaying Current Gateway Settings
You can use the view command to display the current CONFIG settings for your Motorola Netopia®
Gateway. If you enter the view command at the top level of the CONFIG hierarchy, the CLI displays the
settings for all enabled functions. If you enter the view command at an intermediate node, you see
settings for that node and its subnodes.

Rules for entering CONFIG commands
Command verbs CONFIG commands must start with a command verb (set, view, delete).
You can truncate CONFIG verbs to three characters (set, vie, del).
CONFIG verbs are case-insensitive. You can enter “SET,” “Set,” or “set.”
Keywords Keywords are case-insensitive. You can enter “Ethernet,” “ETHERNET,” or “ethernet” as a
keyword without changing its meaning.
Keywords can be abbreviated to the length that they are differentiated from other key-
words.
Argument Text Text strings can be as many as 64 characters long, unless otherwise specified. In some
cases they may be as long as 255 bytes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Text strings may be enclosed in double (“) or single (‘) quote marks. If the text string
includes an embedded space, it must be enclosed in quotes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Numbers Enter numbers as integers, or in hexadecimal, where so noted.
IP addresses Enter IP addresses in dotted decimal notation (0 to 255).
