Several of the commands that change Bridge configuration
settings can be run interactively. When you enter a command
with one of its options, the parameters that can be configured
display as consecutively presented fields.
Obtain a usage example of command options for interactive
commands—and list the option’s valid switches and arguments
with a brief explanation of each—by entering
help
(or its
synonym,
?
) after the command option:
[GW]>
set network ?
Description: Sets network configuration
Usage: set network [-h hostname][-ip IP][-nm netmask][-gw defaultGW]
-gw 0: delete default gateway
For help with non-interactive command options, you can enter
the command-option combination without arguments:
[GW]>
set accessid
Description: Sets Access ID from a HEX string
Usage: set accessid
default: set to all 0's
string of 16 HEX characters, ex: 0A0B0C0D0E0F2345
