Use the CLI to access, configure, and manage Nokia 7210 SAS devices. CLI commands are entered at the command line prompt. Access to specific CLI commands is controlled by the permissions set by your system administrator. Entering a CLI command makes navigation possible from one command context (or level) to another.
When you initially enter a CLI session, you are in the ROOT context. Navigate to another level by entering the name of successively lower contexts. For example, enter either the configure or show commands at the ROOT context to navigate to the config or show context, respectively. For example, at the command prompt, enter config. The active context displays in the command prompt.
A:ALU-7210# config
A:ALU-7210>config#
In a CLI context, you can enter commands at that context level by entering the text. It is also possible to include a command in a lower context as long as the command is formatted in the correct command and parameter syntax.
The following example shows two methods to navigate to a service SAP ingress level:
Method 1:
A:ALU-7210# config service epipe 6 sap 1/1/2 ingress
Method 2:
A:ALU-7210# configure
A:ALU-7210>config# service
A:ALU-7210>config>service# epipe 6
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe# sap 1/1/2
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe>sap# ingress
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe>sap>ingress#
The CLI returns an error message when the syntax is incorrect.
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe# sapp
^
Error: Bad command.
A:ALU-7210>config>service>epipe#
