Command Line Prompt
Four factors affect the command line prompt:
•
Host name of the CLI entity - the host name is used as the prefix of the
command prompt.
• Module Number - counting from the top and used as part of the prefix. In this
document the Module number in the prompt is generic and is represented by
“N”.
• Security level - used as the suffix of the prompt (Refer to "Security Levels" on
page 9.)
• Application context - used as body of the prompt, this part is not mandatory.
Example:
Host name of the router is London
Router is module number three
Application context is OSPF
