Fortress ES-Series CLI Guide: Mesh Point CLI and Administrative Access
11
Obtain a usage example of command options for interactive
commands—and list the option’s valid switches and arguments
with a brief explanation of each—by entering
help (or its
synonym,
? ) after the command option:
# set network ?
Description: Sets network configuration
Usage: set network [-enable <y|n>][-h hostname][-ip IP][-nm netmask][-gw defaultGW]
-enable y|n: to enable IPv4
-h hostname: name (will be shown in prompt)
-ip IP: a valid IPv4 address for the interface
-nm netmask: mask of network prefix (e.g., 255.255.255.0)
-gw defaultGW: IPv4 address of default gateway. To remove: -gw 0.0.0.0
For help with non-interactive command options, you can enter
the command-option combination without arguments:
# set accessid
Description: Sets Access ID from a HEX string
Usage: set accessid default|random|<HexString> [-confirm default|random|<HexString>]
default Sets to factory default value
random Sets to an auto-generated pseudorandom value
<HexString> Sets to a Hex string 16|32 chars (exclude optional
colons). Ex: 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
2.1.5 Command Syntax
In this document, command-line text supplied by the Mesh
Point CLI is set in
plain (non-bold, non-italic) type. All user
input is indicated by
bold typeface. The template for the Mesh
Point CLI command syntax is shown below:
# command option <parameter> -switch req_arg1|req_arg2|req_arg3 -switch opt_arg1|opt_arg2
in which you can also note the terminology and punctuation
used here to describe command strings and parse input
elements:
 Command refers to the basic operation to be performed
(ex.,
set , show , etc.).
 Option refers to the configuration element upon which the
command will operate (ex.,
clock , ap , clients , etc.)
 Parameter refers to a user-supplied variable, (ex., < name > ,
< IPaddr > (IP address), etc.).
 Arguments ( _arg , above) are additional command inputs.
Some arguments are required by the command (
req_arg ).
Others are optional (
opt_arg ). Multiple arguments must be
separated by commas and entered without spaces.
 Switch refers to the identifier, preceded by a dash (hyphen),
for the argument to follow (ex.,
-ip , -n , etc.) Switches allow
permissible arguments to be entered in any combination
and order.
