Getting Command Line Help

Online help is available for all router commands, via the command:

help [topic]

If you do not specify a topic, then a list of available topics is displayed.

The system help file that the help information comes from can be stored in
either NVS or FLASH memory. If you upgrade your software release, you can
also upload any associated new help file, then activate it using the command:

set help=helpfile

To display the current help file, enter the command:

show system

Also, typing a question mark “?” at the end of a partially completed command
displays a list of the parameters that may follow the current command line,
with the minimum abbreviations in uppercase letters. The current command
line is then re-displayed, ready for further input.

Enabling Special Feature Licences

You must enable the special feature licence you have purchased before you can
use the licenced features. You will need the password provided by your
authorised distributor or reseller. The advanced upgrade licence and password
are different from the standard software release licence and password. The
licence cannot be transferred from one router to another.

For software features that require a special feature licence see

“Special Feature

Licences” on page 11

.

You must order passwords for special feature licences from your authorised
distributor or reseller. You must specify the special feature licence bundle and
the serial number(s) of the router(s) on which the special feature licences are to
be enabled.

The password for a special feature licence is a string of at least 16 hexadecimal
characters. This password encodes the special feature, or features, covered by
the license, and the router serial number. The password information is stored in
the router’s FLASH memory.

To enable or disable a special feature licence, enter the commands:

enable feature=feature password=password

disable feature=feature

To list the current special feature licences, enter the command:

show feature[={featurename|index}]
