10 Entering Command Line Interface Commands

Root>

Whenever the position in the CLI command tree moves to a new branch (for example,
config to maint, config to config.port, or config.port to config), the history log is cleared.
In this case, any asynchronous commands (for example, the up-arrow command
[A) or the up-arrow keyboard symbol) cannot move the position back towards
the root, as shown in this example:

Root>

config

Root.Config>

port

Root.Config.Port>

[A

Root.Config.Port>

Parameters

Some command parameters accept character strings that include spaces. Quotation marks
are required when a string includes spaces.

Config.System>

location Building_24_Room_16

Config.System>

location "Building 24 Room 16"

If spaces are not included in a parameter that accepts a string, the quotation marks are not
required around that string.

A null string can be created by using the quotation marks without any space between them.

Config.System>

location ""

Output

All output from the CLI commands is limited to the standard 80 columns supported by most
Telnet interfaces. The output is left-justified.
