CLI Usage
Basic System Configuration Guide 27
Absolute Paths
CLI commands can be executed in any context by specifying the full path from the CLI root.
To execute an out-of-context command, enter a forward slash “/” or backward slash “\” at the
beginning of the command line. The commands are interpreted as absolute path. The forward
slash “/” or backward slash “\” cannot be used as an absolute path at the beginning of the
command-string of the environment alias command. Spaces between the slash and the first
command will return an error. Commands that are already global (such as ping, telnet, exit,
back, etc.) cannot be executed with a forward slash “/” or backward slash “\” at the beginning
of the command line.
*A:ALA-12# configure router
*A:ALA-12>config>router# interface system address 1.2.3.4
*A:ALA-12>config>router# /admin save
*A:ALA-12>config>router# \clear router interface
*A:ALA-12>config>router#
The command may or may not change the current context depending on whether or not it is
a leaf command. This is the same behavior the CLI performs when CLI commands are
entered individually, for example:
*A:ALA-12# admin
*A:ALA-12>admin# save
or
*A:ALA-12# admin save
*A:ALA-12#
An absolute path command behaves the same as manually entering a series of command line
instructions and parameters.
