Selection” section. The CLI is part of the Configuration Management System (CMS), so CMS must also be
enabled make menuconfig in order to have the CLI.
The CLI has a “>” prompt character. If you type “sh”, you will enter the busybox shell, which has the “#”
prompt character. This document describes the commands available from the CLI (“>”), not the busybox
shell.
To see a list of available CLI commands, type “help”. Many of the newer, updated commands support a
help message. To see the help message for a command, type the command name and then -h or --help.
In order to use commands which modify the configuration, you must be logged into the CLI as either
“Admin” or “Support”.
The following is a list of commands that are available, but are not listed by typing “help”. These are
refered to as hidden commands.
dumpmem
ebtables
iptables
logread
setmem
sh
Only the Admin and Support users are allowed to use the hidden commands.
Similar to the WebUI, all commands take effect immediately (without requiring reboot). In accordance to
the CMS architecture, all commands which modify the configuration will modify the MDM (shared
memory configuration database). Most commands will automatically save the changes to the configuration
file. If the command does not save the changes to the configuration file, the user must use the “save”
command to save the changes. The table below summarizes the CLI commands.
