Netopia CLI 874 - Manual (Page 9)

Introduction 1-3
Interface Naming Conventions
A number of commands described in this document require you to identify the router inter face to be affected by
the command. This requires specifying both an inter face type (denoted
intf-type ) and an inter face index
(denoted id ).
The intf-type argument may be replaced with one of the following keywords:
adsl | aux | dds | ethernet | isdn | sdsl | t1 | wan | serial
If a command is not specific to a par ticular WAN inter face type, the intf-type wan may be specified; other wise,
the more specific intf-type must be specified.
Note: For IDSL inter faces, use the keyword isdn .
The id argument can be replaced with 0, 1, or 2, as follows:
■ 0 means the motherboard
■ 1 means the WAN 1 slot
■ 2 means the WAN 2 slot
So, for example, the ethernet hublet is identified as “inter face ethernet 0”. In some contexts, only a WAN
inter face may be specified, in which case the command syntax will specify
wan-id instead of the more general
id . The wan-id argument can be replaced by either 1 (the WAN 1 slot) or 2 (the WAN 2 slot) on R-Series
equipment.
Security (Configuration Access)
If the device is password-protected, the device requires you to enter a name and password before you can
access the menu-based or command line console inter face. See the section
“Configuration Access
Commands” on page 2-3 .
Entering and Editing Commands
The device’s console user inter face comes up in Menu mode by default. In this mode you use the arrow,
Escape, and Return/Enter keys to navigate through a series of screens. To invoke the command line at any
time, type
Control-N . The console will erase the window, and you will be presented with a # prompt. To return to
Menu mode type Control-N again.
