Basic System Configuration Guide 9

Getting Started

About This Guide

This guide describes system concepts and provides configuration explanations and examples

to configure SR OS boot option file (BOF), file system and system management functions.

Also provided are concepts and descriptions of the Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and

command usage.

Unless otherwise specified, the topics and commands described in this document apply to the:

• 7450 ESS

• 7750 SR

• 7950 XRS

7450 ESS applicability statements refer to the 7450 ESS when it is not running in mixed

mode. 7750 SR applicability statements refer to the 7750 SR-7/12, 7750 SR-12e, 7750 SR-

a4/a8 and 7750 SR-e1/e2/e3 platforms unless otherwise specified.

Command outputs shown in this guide are examples only; actual displays may differ

depending on supported functionality and user configuration.

Audience

This guide is intended for network administrators who are responsible for configuring the

routers. It is assumed that the network administrators have an understanding of networking

principles and configurations. Concepts described in this guide include the following:

•CLI concepts

• File system concepts

• Boot option, configuration, image loading, and initialization procedures

• Basic system management functions such as the system name, router location and

coordinates, and CLLI code, time zones, Network Time Protocol (NTP), Simple

Network Time Protocol (SNTP), and synchronization properties

In This Chapter

10 Basic System Configuration Guide

In This Chapter

This chapter provides process flow information to configure basic router and system

parameters, perform operational functions with directory and file management, and boot

option tasks.

Router System Configuration Process

Table 1 lists the tasks necessary to configure boot option files (BOF) and system and file

management functions. Each chapter in this book is presented in an overall logical

configuration flow. Each section describes a software area and provides CLI syntax and

command usage to configure parameters for a functional area. After the hardware installation

has been properly completed, proceed with the SR-series router configuration tasks in the

following order:

CLI Usage

In This Chapter

This chapter provides information about using the command-line interface (CLI).

Topics in this chapter include:

• CLI Structure

• Navigating in the CLI

• Basic CLI Commands

• CLI Environment Commands

• CLI Monitor Commands

• Getting Help in the CLI

• The CLI Command Prompt

• Displaying Configuration Contexts

• EXEC Files

• CLI Script Control

• Entering CLI Commands

• VI Editor

• Configuration Rollback

• Transactional Configuration

CLI Structure

The SR OS CLI is a command-driven interface accessible through the console, Telnet and

secure shell (SSH). The CLI can be used for configuration and management of routers.

The SR OS CLI command tree is a hierarchical inverted tree. At the highest level is the ROOT

level. Below this level are other tree levels with the major command groups; for example,

configuration commands and show commands are levels below ROOT.

CLI Structure

12 Basic System Configuration Guide

The CLI is organized so related commands with the same scope are at the same level or in the

same context. Sublevels or subcontexts have related commands with a more refined scope.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 are examples displaying the major contexts for router configuration,

and are not a definitive list.

CLI Usage

Basic System Configuration Guide 15

Navigating in the CLI

The command outputs in the following sections are examples only; actual displays may differ

depending on supported functionality and user configuration.

The following sections describe additional navigational and syntax information.

• CLI Contexts

• Basic CLI Commands

• CLI Environment Commands

• CLI Monitor Commands

• Entering Numerical Ranges

CLI Contexts

Use the CLI to access, configure, and manage Alcatel-Lucent’s routers. 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:ALA-12# config

A:ALA-12>config#

In a given CLI context, enter commands at that context level by simply entering the text. It is

also possible to include a command in a lower context as long as the command is formatted

in the proper command and parameter syntax.

The following example shows two methods to navigate to a service SDP ingress level.

Method 1:

A:ALA-12# configure service epipe 6 spoke-sdp 2:6 ingress

*A:ALA-12>config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress#

Method 2:

A:ALA-12>config# service

Navigating in the CLI

16 Basic System Configuration Guide

A:ALA-12>config>service# epipe 6

*A:ALA-12>config>service>epipe# spoke-sdp 2:6

*A:ALA-12>config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp# ingress

*A:ALA-12>config>service>epipe>spoke-sdp>ingress#

The CLI returns an error message when the syntax is incorrect.

*A:ALA-12>config# rooter

Error: Bad command.

Basic CLI Commands

The console control commands are the commands that are used for navigating within the CLI

and displaying information about the console session. Most of these commands are

implemented as global commands. They can be entered at any level in the CLI hierarchy with

the exception of the password command which must be entered at the ROOT level. The

console control commands are listed in Table 2.

Table 2: Console Control Commands

Command Description

<Ctrl-c> Aborts the pending command.

<Ctrl-z> Terminates the pending command line and returns to the ROOT context.

back Navigates the user to the parent context.

echo Echos the text that is typed in. Primary use is to display messages to the

screen within an exec file.

exec Executes the contents of a text file as if they were CLI commands

entered at the console.

exit Returns the user to the previous higher context.

exit all Returns the user to the ROOT context.

help

?

Displays help in the CLI.

history Displays a list of the most recently entered commands.

info Displays the running configuration for a configuration context.

logout Terminates the CLI session.

oam Provides OAM test suite options. See the OAM section of the SR OS

OAM and Diagnostic Guide.

CLI Usage

Basic System Configuration Guide 17

Display the list of all system global commands by entering help globals in the CLI:

*A:ALA-12>config>service# help globals

back - Go back a level in the command tree

echo - Echo the text that is typed in

enable-admin - Enable the user to become a system administrator

exec - Execute a file - use -echo to show the commands and

prompts on the screen

CLI Usage

Basic System Configuration Guide 19

CLI Monitor Commands

Monitor commands display specified statistical information related to the monitor subject

(such as filter, port, QoS, router, service, and VRRP) at a configurable interval until a count

is reached. The CLI monitor commands are found in the root>monitor context of the CLI

tree.

The monitor command output displays a snapshot of the current statistics. The output display

refreshes with subsequent statistical information at each configured interval and is displayed

as a delta to the previous display.

The <Ctrl-c> keystroke interrupts a monitoring process. Monitor command configurations

cannot be saved. You must enter the command for each monitoring session. Note that if the

maximum limits are configured, you can monitor the statistical information for a maximum

of 60 * 999 sec ~ 1000 minutes.

The CLI monitor command contexts are listed in Table 5.

reduced-prompt Configures the maximum number of higher-level CLI context

nodes to display by name in the CLI prompt for the current CLI

session.

saved-ind-prompt Saves the indicator in the prompt.

suggest-internal-

objects

Enables the suggestion of internally created objects while auto

completing.

terminal Configures the terminal screen length for the current CLI session.

time-display Specifies whether time should be displayed in local time or UTC.
