5.2.2 Command Line Interface
I. Characteristics of the command line interface
The command line interface of Quidway AR 28 Series Routers provides a number of
configuration commands, which can be used to configure and manage the router. The
command line interface has the following characteristics:
z Performs the local configuration through CON port.
z Performs the local or remote configuration through telnet command, which can be
used to directly log on and manage other routers.
z Users can enter ? anytime to get online help.
z Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose
the availability of the network.
z Provides all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.
z The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the
command. If the user enters the conflict-free keyword for a command, the
command will be interpreted accordingly. For example, for a display command,
the user can just enter dis.
II. Command line interface
The command line interface of Quidway AR 28 Series routers provides plenty of
configuration commands. Hierarchical user protection is adopted to prevent
unauthorized users from illegal invading. Each group corresponds to a view (please
see VRP3 Operation Manual for details). The user can use these commands to switch
between different configuration views. In general, only certain commands can be
executed under a particular view. But some common commands (such as ping,
display current-configuration, interface) can be executed in all views.
