CLI Parameters and Arguments
The CLI configuration options are organized in a hierarchy called a parameter tree. You can use
the get, show and list commands to show parameters. You can also use the get command to
show the values of individual parameters at the end of a branch.
Each branch in the parameter tree in the MergePoint SP manager CLI is made up of one or more
parameters, one nested below the other. For example, the top level network parameter may be
followed by the second level interface parameter, which then may be followed by the third
level mode parameter. In this branch, the only commands supported would be get and set. All
of the parameters in a branch are entered together on a single CLI command line. For example,
to get the value, then set the mode for failover, you would enter the following command:
cli> get network interface mode
normal
cli>
To set failover, you would enter the following command in interactive mode:
cli> set network interface mode failover
OK
cli>
You can use autocompletion with the set command to find out the accepted values:
cli> set network interface mode <Tab><Tab>
Set interface mode: normal, interface or bridge.
To add a user called mozart, you would enter the following:
cli> add spmanager user mozart
