• rfX.0 - radio interfaces. See device’s labeling or use “ifconfig -a”
command to learn your radio interfaces
• pppX – point-to-point interfaces
• tunX - interfaces used for IPIP tunnels building
• vlanX – interfaces supporting VLAN 802.1q tagging
All configured interfaces of the Device can be reviewed using the following
command:
ifconfig -a
3. Command line interface (CLI)
For device’s management and configuration a Unix-like command line language
is used. Every command starts having the power right after Enter key is pressed.
However, each command lifetime duration is limited within one configuration
session. In order to save a current configuration “config save
” command is
used.
Several commands can be grouped in one line using “;” character. If a wrong-
syntax line is met in the group, the rest of the string is checked anyway and the
wrong command is ignored. Command name can be shortened unless the
ambiguity occurs.
If your terminal supports VT100 or ANSI standard you can move around the list
of recently executed commands using cursor keys. Numbered list of these
commands can be reviewed by “!h” command. Any command from this list can
be available using “!<NUMBER>” command. TAB key performs substring
search of recently executed commands.
Ctrl/R combination refreshes the command string if its content was disturbed by
system messages.
The command executed with no arguments prints a short hint about its keys,
parameters and syntax.
Context help can be obtained by printing “?” in any position of the line.
4. Configuration manipulations
Printing and saving your configuration
You can easily review your current device’s configuration by executing
“config show” command. The output of the command is sorted by the
configuration sections (e.g. “System parameters”, “Interfaces configuration” etc).
You can review some particular parts of the configuration specifying the part of
the configuration you want to see.
Example:
config show ifc
This command will print the interfaces configuration. You can specify several
parts of the configuration separating them with a space bar.
Example:
config show rip nat
