NCL Command Operation
Some NCL commands like Ping (which tests your access to a specific IP
address), require you to type an argument after the command. Others,
like Boot (which reboots the router) do not. Some ‘‘expandable’’
commands, like Time (which displays the time and date and can also be
used to reset the time and date), give you the option of differing
responses, depending on whether you want the minimal or expanded
functionality of the command. Also, some commands invoke responses
that can be displayed in a single screen. Others require scrolling through
one or more additional screens.
How To Execute an NCL Command
To execute an NCL command:
1. Type the command name.
2. Type the required argument, if any, and any optional arguments you
want to use.
3. Press [Return].
For example, to change the current time in the router to 12:00, you
would type
time 12:00:00
and press [Return].
