Entering Multiple Commands on a Line
To enter multiple commands on the same line, type a semicolon (;) wherever you
would press [Return] to terminate a command.
Example:
Configure ethernet/2/1 from root, then configure ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0 on
ethernet/2/1 and RIP on ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0, as follows:
box#
ethernet/2/1;ip 1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0;rip
rip/1.2.3.4#
Continuing a Command Line
You can continue a command line by entering a backslash ( \ ) character at the end
of the current text line. The BCC treats characters on the next physical line as part
of the same BCC logical command line.
You must immediately follow the backslash ( \ ) with a newline (Return) character.
The BCC treats these two characters and any trailing spaces as if they were
exactly one space. Until you press [Return] without a preceding backslash ( \ )
character, the BCC replaces the pound symbol (#) in the context-sensitive prompt
with an underscore ( _ ) character.
Example:
ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0#
cost 2 \
ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0_
mask-reply on \
ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0_
proxy on \
ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0_
aging cache-on
ip/1.2.3.4/255.0.0.0#
Some command symbols normally used in pairs to denote the beginning and the
end of a set of data also produce the continuation (underscore) prompt, including
braces ({ }), brackets ([ ]), and quotation marks (“ ”).
Example:
box#
{
...
box_ ...
}
box#
