CONFIG Commands

Command Line Interface Preference Settings

You can set command line interface preferences to customize your environment.

Specifies whether you want command help and prompting information dis-
played. By default, the command line interface verbose preference is turned off. If
you turn it on, the command line interface displays help for a node when you
navigate to that node.

Specifies how many lines of information you want the command line interface to
display at one time. The lines argument specifies the number of lines you want to
see at one time. By default, the command line interface shows you 16 lines of text
before displaying the prompt: More …[y|n] ?.

If you enter 0 for the lines argument, the command line interface displays infor-
mation as an uninterrupted stream (which is useful for capturing information to a
text file).

Port Renumbering Settings

If you use NAT pinholes to forward HTTP or telnet traffic through your Cayman
Gateway to an internal host, you must change the port numbers the Cayman
Gateway uses for its own configuration traffic. For example, if you set up a NAT
pinhole to forward network traffic on Port 80 (HTTP) to another host, you would
have to tell the Cayman Gateway to listen for configuration connection requests
on a port number other than 80, such as 6080.

After you have changed the port numbers the Cayman Gateway uses for its con-
figuration traffic, you must use those port numbers instead of the standard num-
bers when configuring the Cayman Gateway. For example, if you move the
router's Web service to port “6080” on a box with a DNS name of “superbox”,
you would enter the URL http://superbox:6080 in a Web browser to open the
Cayman Gateway graphical user interface. Similarly, you would have to configure
your telnet application to use the appropriate port when opening a configuration
connection to your Cayman Gateway.

Specifies the port number for HTTP (web) communication with the Cayman
Gateway. Because port numbers in the range 0-1024 are used by other protocols,
you should use numbers in the range 2000-32767 when assigning new port
numbers to the Cayman Gateway web configuration interface.
