802.11a/g Router User’s Guide
If a keyword is expected when the user types “ ?”, all valid keywords will be displayed. The
command typed in so far will then be displayed again along with the cursor sitting at the end,
waiting for the user to continue.
If the user types in part of the keyword but does not type in the entire word, the user can then
enter a tab or space for the system to automatically complete the keyword if the characters typed
in so far can uniquely identify the keyword. If the characters typed in so far do not uniquely
identify a keyword, a list of possible keywords will be displayed.
If the user is not sure what to type next, he or she can type "?” to display the possible keywords
that match the current CLI command input.
If an interactive mode is entered, the system will prompt for each required parameter, such as:
…
Command> add radius server primary
enter server IP (Unspecified): 192.168.1.10
enter port number (1812, 1-65535): 1812
enter shared secret:
…
The first prompt means current IP setting is not specified yet, and there is no default for that.
The second prompt means a number between 1 and 65535 is expected, with 1812 being the
default.
During the first time a particular parameter is configured, typing a carriage return will cause the
default value to be selected. Otherwise, typing a carriage return means no change to the current
value.
Express Mode vs. Advanced Mode of operation
The Command Line Interface operates in one of two modes:
Express
Mode
or
Advanced
Mode
. In Express Mode, not all parameters are displayed. Default values are set for those
parameters not displayed in multi-line commands. In Advanced Mode, users have the option to
modify all possible values appropriate to each operation.
The user can toggle between Express Mode and Advanced Mode by typing ^E (Control-E) at any
time. Normally, the system prompt will be changed by appending “>>” to the configured prompt
when in Advanced Mode.
Conventions
The following notations will be used:
lan means the LAN port;
wlan means the Wireless port;
