ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Command Line Interface Reference Guide

Overview

When you are in a CLI session, you can access the menu-driven interface by executing the

following command at the command prompt:

Command Description

Toggles from the CLI to the menu-driven interface

Moving between the CLI and menu-driven interface does not change the default interface.

This means that if the default is the menu-driven interface and user 1 connects and switches

to the CLI, when user 2 connects, they see the menu-driven interface when they log on.

Setting the Default Interface

Use the following command to change the interface default. This command takes effect

immediately for the next log in. It will be lost, however, on reboot. To save the default

permanently to non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), type the cfg save command. Refer to the

“Saving Changes” section later in this chapter.

Use the following command to set the default interface:

Command Description

def-interface set {menu | cli}

Sets the default interface to either the menu-driven interface

or the CLI

Displaying the Default Interface

Use the following command to display the default interface:

Command Description

def-interface show

Displays the default interface

Using the CLI

This section describes how to use the command line interface to enter CLI commands.

Understanding Command Syntax Symbols

Command syntax is presented as a combination of defined strings, keywords, variables, and

symbols. Symbols indicate how to enter the command, and should not be typed as part of the

command itself.

Text in boldface must be entered literally as shown. Do not type any symbols that may

appear in boldface.
