CLI Contexts
Use the CLI to access, configure, and manage Alcatel-Lucent’s 7210 SAS devices. CLI
commands are entered at the command line prompt. Access to specific CLI commands is
controlled by the permissions set by your system administrator. Entering a CLI command makes
navigation possible from one command context (or level) to another.
When you initially enter a CLI session, you are in the ROOT context. Navigate to another level by
entering the name of successively lower contexts. For example, enter either the configure or show
commands at the ROOT context to navigate to the config or show context, respectively. For
example, at the command prompt, enter config. The active context displays in the command
prompt.
A:ALU-7210# config
A:ALU-7210>config#
In a given CLI context, you can enter commands at that context level by simply entering the text. It
is also possible to include a command in a lower context as long as the command is formatted in
the proper command and parameter syntax.
The following example shows two methods to navigate to a service SAP ingress level:
Method 1:
A:ALU-7210# config service epipe 6 sap 1/1/2 ingress
Method 2:
A:ALU-7210# configure
A:ALU-7210>config# service
A:ALU-7210>config>service# epipe 6
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe# sap 1/1/2
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe>sap# ingress
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe>sap>ingress#
