Appendix A About CONFIG Commands
About CONFIG Commands
You reach the configuration mode of the command line interface by typing con-
figure
(or any truncation of configure, such as c 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 Cay-
man Gateway followed 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 Coconut (top)>> prompt reminds you that you are at
the top of the CONFIG hierarchy. If you move to the ip node in the CONFIG hier-
archy (by typing ip at the CONFIG prompt), the prompt changes to Coconut
(ip)>>
to identify your current location.
Some CLI commands are not available until certain conditions are met. For exam-
ple, you must enable IP for an interface before you can enter IP settings for that
interface.
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 .
Dogzilla (top)>> quit
Dogzilla >
• 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 .
Dogzilla (top)>> ip
Dogzilla (ip)>>
As a shortcut, 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 starts with I, you could enter one letter (“
i ”) to move to the IP
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.
• Jumping to the top node — You can jump to the top level from anywhere in
the CONFIG hierarchy by entering the top command.
