Version 1 2-1
BSR 64000 Command Line Interface User’s Guide Release 7.1.0

Editing and Navigating with the CLI

This section describes editing and navigating the command line through the CLI with
the various CLI functions. The following general rules apply to using the CLI:
„ You can enter CLI commands in uppercase, lowercase, or a combination of cases.
„ Passwords and some identifiers, such as file names or route maps, are case
sensitive.
„ You can abbreviate commands and keywords to a minimum number of characters
that represent a unique abbreviation.
This section describes how to do the following:
„ Moving the Cursor on the Command Line
„ Partial Command Names
„ Deleting Command Line Entries
„ Scrolling Down a Line or a Screen
„ Changing Case

Moving the Cursor on the Command Line

Table 2-1 describes the key sequences to move the cursor on the command line to
make corrections or changes, or scroll back to the beginning of the command line.

Note: The CLI provides a wraparound feature for commands that extend
beyond a single line on the screen. When the cursor reaches the right
margin, the command line shifts to the left but you can scroll back to the
beginning of the command.

Table 2-1 Cursor Movement Keys

Pressing ... Function

Ctrl-B Moves the cursor backward one character.
Left Arrow Moves the cursor backward one character. The
cursor must be on a character.
Right arrow Moves the cursor forward one character. The
cursor must be on a character.

Version 1 2-3
BSR 64000 Command Line Interface User’s Guide Release 7.1.0

Scrolling Down a Line or a Screen

Using commands available in a particular mode may result in a screen output longer
than the screen can display. If the more prompt appears at the bottom of a screen, this
indicates that additional information is available. Use the keys in Table 2-3 to scroll
down and view this information.

Table 2-3 Scroll Keys

Press ... Function

Enter key Scrolls down one line.
Space bar Scrolls down one screen.

Changing Case
To change a word to all uppercase or lowercase, use the keys in Table 2-4.

Table 2-4 Case Control Keys

Press ... Function

Esc L Changes the word to the left of the cursor to
lowercase.
Esc U Changes the word to the left of the cursor to
uppercase.

Disabling and Resetting Commands

The no form of a command disables the command or resets the command to the
default value. The command without the keyword no re-enables a disabled feature or
enables a feature that is disabled by default. For example, IP routing is enabled by
default. To disable IP routing, use the no ip routing command. To re-enable IP
routing, use the ip routing command.

Using the Command History

The CLI provides a record or history of command entries. This feature recalls long or
complex commands, or entries including access lists. This section describes using the
command history feature to complete the following tasks:

2-4 Version 1
Release 7.1.0 Using the Command Line Interface

„ Setting the Command History Buffer Size

„ Recalling Commands
„ Disabling the Command History Feature

Setting the Command History Buffer Size

By default, the history buffer stores ten command lines. To change the number of
stored command lines for the current terminal session, use the history size command
in User EXEC or Privileged EXEC mode:
MOT:7A>history size <1-256>
where:
1-256 is the number of lines of the history buffer.

Recalling Commands
To recall commands from the history buffer, perform one of the following actions:
„ Press Ctrl-P or the up arrow key - Use this action to recall commands, displaying
the most recent command first. Repeat the key sequence to display successively
older commands.The up arrow key displays the most recent commands on the
current CLI command mode.
„ Press Ctrl-N or the down arrow key - After recalling commands, use this action to
display more recent commands. Repeat the key sequence to display successively
more recent commands.
„ show history command - Enter this command in User EXEC or Privileged EXEC
mode to display the last several commands.

Note: The arrow keys function is available only on ANSI-compatible

terminals, such as VT100s.

Disabling the Command History Feature

The command history feature is automatically enabled. To disable the command
history feature during the current session, use the no history command in User EXEC
or Privileged EXEC mode:
MOT:7A>no history

Version 1 2-5
BSR 64000 Command Line Interface User’s Guide Release 7.1.0

Using Output Modifiers with the Show Command

Filters or "output modifiers" display specific show command information using the
"pipe" character ( | ) and entering the begin, exclude, include, count, or count-only
parameters. Output modifier syntax is the same for all show commands. The
following is the command syntax, including output modifier syntax, for the show ip
ospf command:
MOT:7A#show ip ospf network [ | {begin | exclude | include} {<WORD>}
[ | {count | count-only}]]
where:
| turns on filters.
begin indicates to start with the line that matches.
exclude excludes lines that match.
include includes lines that match.
WORD is the text string to match. If the <WORD> to be matched has more than
one space character in a row, then the entire text string must be surrounded by
quotation marks and any imbedded space characters in the string to be matched
must be included as part of the <WORD>.
count counts the number of outputted lines.
count-only counts the number of lines while suppressing screen output.

Example
The show cable modem command outputs two spaces between the word cable and
the slot number for single digit slot numbers and outputs one space between the word
"cable" and the slot number for double digit slots:
MOT:7A#show cable modem | include "cable 4/0"

Logical OR and AND expressions can now be included in show commands when
filtering with output modifiers, using the include option. The following syntax is used
for a logical OR expression:
<show command> | include <word> | <word2>
The following syntax is used to a logical AND expression:
<show command> | include <word> | include <word2>

2-6 Version 1
Release 7.1.0 Using the Command Line Interface

These modifiers can be combined to form longer expressions for filtering. For
example, the following syntax is used to generate the expression ((word OR word2)
AND word3):
<show command> | include <word> | <word2> | include <word3>
The exclude option can also be used, but not for logical OR expressions.

Getting Help
Enter a question mark (?) at the prompt to display a complete list and short
description of the available commands in each command mode. You can enter the
question mark with the complete command or its unique abbreviation. For example,
to obtain help for the show users command, you can enter show users ?.
If the CLI detects an error in the command line, it positions a caret symbol (^) at the
error.

Context-sensitive Help
A list of command-associated keywords and arguments is displayed when using the
context-sensitive help features of the CLI. To get help for a specific command mode,
command, keyword, or argument, use the entries in Table 2-5.

Table 2-5 Context-sensitive Help Details

Entry Result
help Displays brief help system description.
<abbreviated command>? Displays commands that begin with the
abbreviated entry. Do not enter a space
before the question mark.
? Lists all commands available for the current
mode.
<command> ? Lists associated keywords for the command.
Be sure to enter a space before the question
mark.
<command> <keyword> ? Lists associated arguments for the keyword.

BSR 64000 Command Line Interface User’s Guide Release 7.1.0

Creating Command Aliases

This section describes creating an alias for a command.
„ The alias exec command, used in Global Configuration mode, creates an alias for
a User EXEC mode command:
MOT:7A(config)#alias exec {<WORD> <WORD>}
where:
WORD is the alias name for the command.
WORD is the name of the command being replaced by the alias.
„ The alias priv command, used in Global Configuration mode, creates an alias for
a Privileged EXEC mode command:
MOT:7A(config)#alias priv {<WORD> <WORD>}
where:
WORD is the alias name for the command.
WORD is name of the command being replaced by the alias.
„ The alias conf command, used in Global Configuration mode, creates an alias for
a Global Configuration mode command:
MOT:7A(config)#alias conf {<WORD> <WORD>}
where:
WORD is the alias name for the command.
WORD is the name of the command being replaced by the alias.
„ The no alias command deletes an alias:
MOT:7A(config)#no alias [exec | priv | conf] <WORD>
where:
WORD is the alias name for the command.
„ The show aliases command displays a list of all aliases:
MOT:7A#show aliases

2-8 Version 1
Release 7.1.0 Using the Command Line Interface

Examples
1. The following example creates an alias for the enable command, accessible from
the User EXEC mode.
MOT:7A(config)#alias exec en enable
2. This example creates an alias for the router rip command, accessible from the
Global Configuration mode.
MOT:7A(config)#alias conf rr router rip.
For a detailed discussion of the different command line modes, refer to CLI
Command Modes on page 3-1.

Tab Completion of Command Aliases

Command line aliases support tab completion/expansion of aliases. For example, if an
alias for the show cable modem command is created to be aliased as "scm", then the
following will be allowed.
MOT:7A(config)# scm cpe
MOT:7A(config)# scm mac30

If an alias is followed by the same options as the original, unaliased command and can
be extended to the full command by using the "Tab" key. For example:
MOT:7A(config)# scm cp <Tab> ---> show cable modem cpe

Displaying help when using aliases is now supported. For example:

MOT:7A(config)# scm ?
<cm-mac> Mac address in the form of xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
<prefix> IP address
X/Y where X = 3 4 9 10
all-vrfs All vrfs
cpe Customer premises equipment
detail Detail information

CLI Command Modes

Overview
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is organized into different command modes. Each
command mode has its own set of commands available for configuring and
monitoring the BSR and network operations.
„ EXEC CLI modes are used to navigate the CLI and perform basic BSR startup,
configuration, and monitoring tasks. The EXEC modes are as follows:
• User EXEC Mode
• Privileged EXEC Mode
„ Configuration CLI modes allow you to make changes to the BSR’s running
configuration. The configuration modes are as follows:
• Global Configuration Mode
• Interface Configuration Mode
• Service Class Configuration Mode
• Slot Configuration Mode
• PacketCable Configuration Mode
• IPSec Configuration Mode
• Router Configuration Mode
• Route-map Configuration Mode

Version 1 3-1
BSR 64000 Command Line Interface User’s Guide Release 7.1.0

• Cable Spectrum Group Mode

You initially begin a CLI session in User EXEC mode, which has a limited set of
commands. To have access to all EXEC commands, you must enter Privileged EXEC
mode which is usually password protected. From Privileged EXEC mode, you can
access Global Configuration mode, the gateway to all other configuration modes.

Note: Any changes made in any CLI mode only remain in effect until you
reboot the system. To make a change permanent, you must save your
running configuration file to the startup configuration file.

Table 3-1 provides details on entering each command mode, the prompt display,
navigating through the command mode hierarchy, and exiting each command mode.

User EXEC Mode

When you first access the CLI, you are initially in the User EXEC mode indicated by
the MOT> prompt. User EXEC commands are a limited subset of commands in the
next CLI level (Privileged EXEC mode). User EXEC commands allow you to
perform basic tests and list system information.

3-2 Version 1
Release 7.1.0 CLI Command Modes

Privileged EXEC Mode

Privileged EXEC mode includes the commands in User EXEC mode, additional
