Entering Commands
Entering Commands
Once you have connected to the BV10, you can enter CLI commands at the
command prompt. The CLI command prompt is either
BV10-100>
or
BV10-1000>
, depending on the BV10 model you are communicating with.
Basic Command Format
The basic format of a CLI command is:
command parameter
,...
Both upper and lower case alphanumeric characters and special
characters, such as the slash (/) and colon (:) are supported. Commands
and parameters are not case sensitive.
You can specify no parameter, one parameter, or multiple parameters
separated with comma.
Abbreviating Commands
The CLI allows you to type only as much of a command that it is required to
make it unambiguous. For example,
sh ve
is the equivalent of typing
show
version because show is the only keyword that starts with sh and version is the
only keyword that starts with
ve
. If it cannot be unambiguously determined,
the CLI displays a list of possible commands and parameters that begin
with the partial keyword.
