1.1 IntroductionYou can log in to switches through console port or Telnet.

1.1.1 Login Through the ConsoleWhen a switch is powered on for the first time or a switch needs to be locally configured, youcan log in to the switch through the console port.

In the following cases, a switch can be configured only through the console port:

l The switch is powered on for the first time.

l The subscriber cannot login through Telnet.

1.1.2 Login Through TelnetIf you know the IP address of a switch, you can log in to the switch through Telnet to performlocal or remote configurations.

YYou need to pre-configure the IP addresses of interfaces, the user account, the authenticationmode, and the incoming and outgoing call restriction through the console interface on theswitch. Also, ensure that directly-connected or reachable switch exist between terminals and theswitch.

The destination switch authenticates the user based on the configured parameters in three modes:

l Password authentication: indicates that the login user should enter the correct password.

l AAA local authentication: indicates that the login user should enter the correct user nameand password.

l None authentication: indicates that the login user need not enter the user name or password.

If the login succeeds, a command line prompt such as appears on the Telnet clientinterface.

Enter a command to check the running status of the switch or to configure the switch.

Enter "?" for help.

NOTE

Do not modify the IP address of the switch when you configure the switch through Telnet because themodification may terminate Telnet connection. Otherwise, set up the connection again after entering a newIP address.

Quidway S2700 Series Ethernet SwitchesConfiguration Guide - Basic Configuration 2 CLI Overview


11

2.1 CLI IntroductionThe command line interface (CLI) is the common tool for running commands.

2.1.1 Command Line InterfaceYou can configure and manage a switch by using the CLI commands.

When a prompt appears, you enter the command line interface (CLI) and interact with switchthrough CLI.

The system provides a series of configuration commands. You can configure and manage theswitch by entering commands on CLI.

The characteristics of CLI are as follows:

l Local configuration through console port.l Local or remote configuration through Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH).l A user interface view for specific configuration management.l Hierarchical command protection for users of different levels, that is, running the

commands of the corresponding level.l None authentication, password authentication and Authentication, Authorization and

Accounting (AAA) to prevent the unauthorized user from accessing the switch.l Entering "?" for online help at any time.l Network testing commands such as tracert and ping for rapidly diagnosing a network.l Abundant debugging information to help in diagnosing the network.l The telnet command for directly logging in to and manage other switch.l FTP service for file uploading and downloading.l Running a history command, like DosKey.l A command line interpreter provides intelligent command resolution methods such as key

word fuzzy match and context conjunction. These methods make it easy for users to entertheir commands.

NOTE

l The system supports the command with up to 512 characters. The command can be incomplete.

l The system saves the incomplete command to the configuration files in the complete form; therefore,the command may have more than 512 characters. When the system is restarted, however, theincomplete command cannot be restored. Therefore, pay attention to the length of the incompletecommand.

2.1.2 Command LevelsThe system adopts a hierarchical protection mode that has 16 command levels.

The default command levels are as follows:

l Level 0-Visit level: Commands of this level include commands of network diagnosis tool(such as ping and tracert) and commands that start from the local device and visit externaldevice (such as Telnet client side).



12

l Level 1-Monitoring level: Commands of this level, including the display commands, areused for system maintenance and fault diagnosis.

l Level 2-Configuration level: Commands of this level are service configuration commandsthat provide direct network service to the user, including routing and network layercommands.

l Level 3-Management level: Commands of this level are commands that influence the basicoperation of the system and provide support to the service. They include file systemcommands, FTP commands, TFTP commands, XModem downloading commands,configuration file switching commands, power supply control commands, backup boardcontrol commands, user management commands, level setting commands, system internalparameter setting commands, and debugging commands that are used for fault diagnosis.

CAUTIONNot all display commands are of the monitoring level. For example, the display current-configuration and display saved-configuration commands are of the management level. Forthe level of a command, see the Quidway S2700 Series Command Reference.

To implement efficient management, you can increase the command levels to 0-15. For theincrease in the command levels, refer to Chapter 4 "Basic Configuration" ConfiguringCommand Levels in the Quidway S2700 Series Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations.

NOTE

l The default command level may be higher than the command level defined according to the commandrules in application.

l Login users have the same 16 levels as the command levels. The login users can use only the commandof the levels that are equal to or lower than their own levels. For details of login user levels, refer toUser Management.

2.1.3 Command ViewsThe command line interface has different command views. All the commands must register inone or more command views. You can run a command only when you enter the correspondingcommand view.

Basic Concepts of Command Views

# Establish connection with the switch. If the switch adopts the default configuration, you canenter the user view with the prompt of .

# Type system-view, and you can enter the system view.

system-view[Quidway]

# Type aaa in the system view, and you can enter the AAA view.

[Quidway] aaa[Quidway-aaa]



13

NOTE

The prompt indicates the default switch name. The prompt indicates the user view and theprompt [] indicates other views.

Some commands that are implemented in the system view can also be implemented in the otherviews; however, the functions that can be implemented are command view-specific.

Common Views

The S2700 provides various command line views. For the methods of entering the commandline views except the following views, see the Quidway S2700 Command Reference.

l User View

Item Description

Function Displays the running status and statistics of the S2700.

Entry command Enters the user view after the connection is set up.

Prompt uponentry

Quit command quit

Prompt uponquit

None.

l System View

Item Description

Function Sets the system parameters of the S2700, and enters other functionviews from this view.

Entry command system-view

Prompt uponentry

l Ethernet Interface View

– Fast Ethernet (FE) interface view

Item Description

Function Sets parameters related to FE interfaces of the S2700 and managesthe FE interfaces.

Entrycommand

[Quidway] interface ethernet X/Y/Z



14

Item Description

Prompt uponentry

[Quidway-EthernetX/Y/Z]

Quit command [Quidway-EthernetX/Y/Z] quit

Prompt uponquit

[Quidway]

NOTE

X/Y/Z indicates the number of an FE interface that needs to be configured. It is in the format ofslot number/sub card number/interface sequence number.

– GE interface view

Item Description

Function Configures related parameters about the GE interfaces of theS2700 and manages the GE interfaces.

Entrycommand

[Quidway] interface GigabitEthernet X/Y/Z

Prompt uponentry

[Quidway-GigabitEthernetX/Y/Z]

Quit command [Quidway-GigabitEthernetX/Y/Z] quit

Prompt uponquit

[Quidway]

NOTE

X/Y/Z indicates the number of a GE interface that needs to be configured. It is in the format ofslot number/sub card number/interface sequence number.

If an LPU provides GE interfaces and 10GE interfaces, the difference lies in the subcard wherethe 10GE interfaces reside. Generally, the sequence number of a 10GE interface is 1. If an LPUprovides only 10GE interfaces, the method of entering the 10GE interface view is the same asthe method of entering the GE interface view.

2.2 Online HelpWhen you enter command lines or configure services, online help offers real-time help inaddition to the configuration guide.

Context

The command line of S2700 provides three types of online help:

l Full help



15

l Partial help

l Error Messages of the Command Line Interface

2.2.1 Full HelpWhen you enter a command line, you can view the description of keywords or parameters in thecommand line through the Full Help.

You can obtain full help from a command view in the following methods:

l In a command view, enter ? to obtain all the commands in this command view anddescriptions of the commands. ?

l Enter a command and a ? separated by a space. If a keyword is in place of the ?, all keywordsand their descriptions are listed. Here is an example.[Quidway-ui-vty0] authentication-mode ? aaa AAA authentication none Login without checking password Authentication through the password of a user terminal interface [Quidway-ui-vty0] authentication-mode aaa ?

[Quidway-ui-vty0] authentication-mode aaa

aaa, none and password are keywords. AAA authentication, Login without checking andAuthentication through the password of a user terminal interface are the descriptions of thetwo keywords.

indicates that no key word or parameter is in this position and you can press Enter torepeat the command in the next command line.

l Enter a command and a ? separated by a space. If a parameter is in place of the ?, allparameters and their descriptions are listed. Here is an example. system-view[Quidway] sysname ?TEXT Host name(1 to 246 characters)

TEXT is a parameter and Host name (1 to 246 characters) is the description.

2.2.2 Partial HelpWhen you enter a command line, you can obtain prompts on the keywords or parameters at thebeginning of the string through the Partial Help.

Context

You can obtain the partial help of the command line in the following ways.

Procedurel Enter a character string with a "?" closely following it to display all commands that begin

with this character string. d? debugging delete dir display

l Enter a command and a character string with "?" closely following it to display all the keywords that begin with this character string. display b?



16

bfd bgp bootrom bpdu bpdu-tunnel buffer

l Enter the first several letters of a key word in the command and then press Tab to displaythe complete key word on the condition that the letters uniquely identify the key word.Otherwise, if you continue to press Tab, different key words are displayed. You can selectthe needed key word.

----End

2.2.3 Error Messages of the Command Line InterfaceIf an entered command passes the syntax check, the system executes it. Otherwise, the systemprompts an error message.

All the commands entered by the user are run correctly, if the grammar check has been passed.Otherwise, error messages are reported to the user. See Table 2-1 for the common errormessages.

Table 2-1 Common error messages of the command line

Error messages Cause of the error

Unrecognized command The command cannot be found

The key word cannot be found

Wrong parameter Parameter type error

The parameter value exceeds the limit

Incomplete command Incomplete command entered

Too many parameters Too many parameters entered

Ambiguous command Indefinite parameters entered

2.3 Features of Command Line InterfaceYou can edit command lines, display command lines, use the regular expression for commandlines, and invoke historical commands.

2.3.1 EditingThe editing function of command lines helps you edit command lines or obtain help by usingcertain keys.

The command line supports multi-line edition. The maximum length of each command is 512characters.

Keys for editing that are often used are shown in Table 2-2.



17

Table 2-2 Keys for editing

Key Function

Common key Inserts a character in the current position of the cursor if the editingbuffer is not full and the cursor moves to the right. Otherwise, analarm is generated.

Backspace Deletes the character on the left of the cursor that moves to theleft. When the cursor reaches the head of the command, an alarmis generated.

Left cursor key ← orCtrl_B

Moves the cursor to the left by the space of a character. When thecursor reaches the head of the command, an alarm is generated.

Right cursor key → orCtrl_F

Moves the cursor to the right by the space of a character. Whenthe cursor reaches the end of the command, an alarm is generated.

Tab Press Tab after typing the incomplete key word and the systemruns the partial help:l If the matching key word is unique, the system replaces the

typed one with the complete key word and displays it in a newline with the cursor a space behind.

l If there are several matches or no match at all, the systemdisplays the prefix first. Then you can press Tab to view thematching key word one by one. In this case, the cursor closelyfollows the end of the word and you can type a space to enterthe next word.

l If a wrong key word is entered, press Tab and the word isdisplayed in a new line.

2.3.2 DisplayingAll command lines have the same displaying feature. You can construct the displaying mode asrequired.

You can control the display of information on CLI as follows:

l Display prompt and help information in both Chinese and English.

l When the information displayed exceeds a full screen, it provides the pause function. Inthis case, the user has three choices as shown in Table 2-3.

Table 2-3 Keys for displaying

Key Function

Ctrl_C Stops the display and running of the command.NOTE

You can also press any of the keys except the spacebar and Enter keyto stop the display and running of the command.

Space Continues to display the information on the next screen.



18

Key Function

Enter Continues to display the information on the next line.

2.3.3 Regular ExpressionsThe regular expression is a mode matching tool. You can construct the matching mode basedon certain rules, and then match the mode with the target object.

The regular expression is an expression that describes a set of strings. It consists of commoncharacters (such as letters from "a" to "z") and particular characters (also named metacharacters).The regular expression is a template according to which you can search for the required string.

A regular expression can provide the following functions:l Searching for and obtaining a sub-string that matches a rule in the string.l Substituting a string according to a certain matching rule.

Formal Language Theory of the Regular ExpressionThe regular expression consists of common characters and particular characters.

l Common charactersCommon characters are used to match themselves in a string, including all upper-case andlower-case letters, digits, punctuations, and special symbols. For example, a matches theletter "a" in "abc", 202 matches the digit "202" in "202.113.25.155", and @ matches thesymbol "@" in "[email protected]".

l Particular charactersParticular characters are used together with common characters to match the complex orparticular string combination. Table 2-4 describes particular characters and their syntax.

Table 2-4 Description of particular characters

Particularcharacter

Syntax Example

\ Defines an escape character, whichis used to mark the next character(common or particular) as thecommon character.

\* matches "*".

^ Matches the starting position of thestring.

^10 matches "10.10.10.1" instead of"20.10.10.1".

$ Matches the ending position of thestring.

1$ matches "10.10.10.1" instead of"10.10.10.2".



19

Particularcharacter

Syntax Example

* Matches the preceding element zeroor more times.

10* matches "1", "10", "100", and"1000".(10)* matches "null", "10", "1010",and "101010".

+ Matches the preceding element oneor more times

10+ matches "10", "100", and"1000".(10)+ matches "10", "1010", and"101010".

? Matches the preceding element zeroor one time.

10? matches "1" and "10".(10)? matches "null" and "10".

. Matches any single character. 0.0 matches "0x0" and "020"..oo matches "book", "look", and"tool".

() Defines a subexpression, which canbe null. Both the expression and thesubexpression should be matched.

100(200)+ matches "100200" and"100200200".

x|y Matches x or y. 100|200 matches "100" or "200".1(2|3)4 matches "124" or "134",instead of "1234", "14", "1224", and"1334".

[xyz] Matches any single character in theregular expression.

[123] matches the character 2 in"255".

[^xyz] Matches any character that is notcontained within the brackets.

[^123] matches any character exceptfor "1", "2", and "3".

[a-z] Matches any character within thespecified range.

[0-9] matches any character rangingfrom 0 to 9.

[^a-z] Matches any character beyond thespecified range.

[^0-9] matches all non-numericcharacters.

_ Matches a comma "," left brace "{",right brace "}", left parenthesis "(",and right parenthesis ")".Matches the starting position of theinput string.Matches the ending position of theinput string.Matches a space.

_2008_ matches "2008", "space2008 space", "space 2008", "2008space", ",2008,", "{2008}","(2008)", "{2008", and "(2008}".



20

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, all characters in the preceding table are displayed on the screen.

l Degeneration of particular charactersCertain particular characters, when being placed at the following positions in the regularexpression, degenerate to common characters.– The particular characters following "\" is transferred to match particular characters

themselves.– The particular characters "*", "+", and "?" placed at the starting position of the regular

expression. For example, +45 matches "+45" and abc(*def) matches "abc*def".– The particular character "^" placed at any position except for the start of the regular

expression. For example, abc^ matches "abc^".– The particular character "$" placed at any position except for the end of the regular

expression. For example, 12$2 matches "12$2".– The right bracket such as ")" or "]" being not paired with its corresponding left bracket

"(" or "[". For example, abc) matches "abc)" and 0-9] matches "0-9]".

NOTE

Unless otherwise specified, degeneration rules are applicable when preceding regular expressionsserve as subexpressions within parentheses.

l Combination of common and particular charactersIn actual application, a regular expression combines multiple common and particularcharacters to match certain strings.

Specifying a Filtering Mode in Command

CAUTIONThe Quidway S2700 Series uses a regular expression to implement the filtering function of thepipe character. A display command supports the pipe character only when there is excessiveoutput information.When the output information is queried according to the filtering conditions, the first line of thecommand output starts with the information containing the regular expression.

The command can carry the parameter | count to display the number of matching entries. Theparameter | count can be used together with other parameters.

For the commands supporting regular expressions, the three filtering methods are as follows:

l | begin regular-expression: displays the information that begins with the line that matchesregular expression.

l | exclude regular-expression: displays the information that excludes the lines that matchregular expression.

l | include regular-expression: displays the information that includes the lines that matchregular expression.

NOTE

The value of regular-expression is a string of 1 to 255 characters.



21

Specify a Filtering Mode when Information is Displayed

When a lot of information is displayed, you can specify a filtering mode in the prompt "---- More----".

l /regular-expression: displays the information that begins with the line that matches regularexpression.

l -regular-expression: displays the information that excludes lines that match regularexpression.

l +regular-expression: displays the information that includes lines that match regularexpression.

2.3.4 History CommandsThe command line interface provides a function similar to DosKey, which can automaticallysave historical commands. You can invoke the historical commands saved on the command lineinterface at any time and run them again.

By default, the system saves 10 history commands at most for each user. The operations are asshown in Table 2-5.

Table 2-5 Access the history commands

Action Key or Command Result

Display thehistorycommands.

display history-command

Display the history commands entered by users.

Access the lasthistorycommand.

Up cursor key↑ orCtrl_P

Display the last history command if there is anearlier history command. Otherwise, a bell isgenerated.

Access the nexthistorycommand.

Down cursor key ↓or Ctrl_N

Display the next history command if there is a laterhistory command. Otherwise, the command iscleared and a bell is generated.

NOTE

On the HyperTerminal of Windows 9X, cursor key ↑ is invalid as the HyperTerminals of Windows 9Xdefine the keys differently. In this case, you can replace the cursor key ↑ with Ctrl_P.

When you use the history commands, note the following:

l The saved history commands are the same as that those entered by users. For example, ifthe user enters an incomplete command, the saved command also is incomplete.

l If the user runs the same command several times, the earliest command is saved. If thecommand is entered in different forms, they are considered as different commands.

For example, if the display ip routing-table command is run several times, only one historycommand is saved. If the disp ip routing command and the display ip routing-tablecommand are run, two history commands are saved.



22

2.4 Shortcut KeysUsing the system shortcut keys makes it easier to enter commands.

2.4.1 System Shortcut KeysSystem-defined shortcut keys with fixed functions are defined by the system. Table 2-6 lists thesystem-defined shortcut keys.

NOTE

Different terminal software defines these keys differently. Therefore, the shortcut keys on the terminal maybe different from those listed in this section.

ESC_P The cursor moves upward to the previous line.

2.5 Configuration ExamplesThis section provides several examples for using command lines.

2.5.1 Example for Using the Tab KeyYou can obtain prompts on keywords or check whether the entered keywords are correct bypressing Tab.

Procedurel If only one keyword contains the incomplete keyword,

do as follows on the S2700.1. Enter an incomplete keyword.

[Quidway] info-

2. Press Tab.

The system replaces the incomplete keyword with a complete keyword and displaysthe complete keyword in another line. There is only one space between the cursor andthe end of the keyword.

[Quidway] info-center

l If more than one keyword contains the incomplete keyword,

do as follows on the S2700.

# The keyword info-center can be followed by the following keywords.

[Quidway] info-center log? logbuffer loghost

1. Enter an incomplete keyword.[Quidway] info-center l

2. Press Tab.

The system displays the prefix of all the matched keywords. The prefix in this exampleis log.

[Quidway] info-center log

3. Continue to press Tab to display all the keywords. There is no space between thecursor and the end of the keywords.[Quidway] info-center loghost[Quidway] info-center logbuffer

3.1 Introduction to InterfacesThis section describes different types of interfaces. The interfaces are provided by the S2700 toreceive and send data.

Interfaces are classified into management interfaces and service interfaces based on theirfunctions; interfaces are classified into physical interfaces and logical interfaces based on theirphysical forms.

NOTE

A physical interface is sometimes called a port. Both physical interfaces and logical interfaces are calledinterfaces in this document.

Management Interface

Management interfaces are used to manage and configure a device. You can log in to theS2700 through a management interface to configure and manage the S2700. Managementinterfaces do not transmit service data.

The management interface of the S2700 is a console interface.

Table 3-1 Description of management interfaces
