Learning About the User Interfaces 21
The Main menu (Level 1) is displayed.
Depending on your software package, the number of services in your Main menu
may vary.
2 Select the service you want to use.
For example, selecting 1 from the Main menu (Level 1) display generates a menu
for the SYS Service.
3 Select the parameter you want to configure.
For example, if you select the NMPrompt parameter from the SYS Service menu
(Level 2) menu, information for that parameter is displayed.
The first part of the screen displays the value of the parameter; the second part
lists the commands you can choose. For information on help menus, see “Getting
Help” on page 34. For complete rules for entering commands and using aliases
and history substitution, see “Using Aliases” on page 26, “Command History
Substitution” on page 26, and “Command-Line Parameter Attributes” on
page 27.
4 To return to the previous menu level, press the Return key.
If you are at the Main menu (level 1) and press the Return key, you return to the
command-line interface.
Using the
Command-Line Interface
This section describes how to enter commands and provides detailed information
about using the command-line interface.
To use the command-line interface, follow these steps:
1 Type the command name.
If the command does not include a service name, parameter, or values, skip to
step 3. If the command requires more information or if you want to include
optional arguments, continue to step 2a.
If you need help identifying the parts of a command, see Figure 1.
a If the command has additional options, such as a port or path number, include
them after the command name.
Including a specific port or path number in the command focuses the
command on that port or path. If the port or path number is not included, the
command acts on all ports or paths.
For more information on ports and paths, see Chapter 1 in Using Enterprise OS
Software. For more information on commands, see Chapter 1 in Reference for
Enterprise OS Software.
b If the command includes a parameter, type the service name (if necessary), the
parameter name, and values.
The service name focuses the action of the command on a particular
bridge/router or tunnel switch service.
In some cases, you may not need to enter the service name. For example, if a
parameter is unique to a service, the service does not need to be specified. If
two or more services have parameters of the same name, you must include the
service name in the syntax. For more information, see “Entering Service Names
in Command Lines” on page 25.
