Study Notes
Command Line Interface (CLI) Overview
- Successful login to a device is indicated by the command prompt appearing.
- Each command consists of one command word, multiple keywords, and parameters.
- Parameters include a name and value, separated by spaces.
- User view is the initial interface post-login and supports only query and tool commands.
User Views and Configurations
- System view can be accessed from the user view.
- User view provides display and tool commands like ping and telnet, without configuration commands.
- Enter system view using the command:
system-view
. - Global configuration commands are available in the system view.
Interface Configuration
- Commands like
interface GigabitEthernet X
enter interface-specific views for individual GE configurations. - Keywords in commands are defined as strings that do not include parameter values.
File Management Commands
- Basic file commands include:
-
pwd
to show the current directory. -
dir [/all] [filename | directory]
to display file information. -
more [/binary] filename [offset] [all]
to view file content.
-
- Directory management commands include:
-
cd directory
to change directories. -
mkdir directory
to create a new directory (1-64 characters). -
rmdir directory
to delete an empty directory.
-
File Operations
-
copy source-filename destination-filename
replaces files if the destination exists; cannot use the system startup file name. -
move source-filename destination-filename
moves files within the same storage medium. -
rename old-name new-name
changes file/directory names. -
delete [/unreserved] [ /force ] {filename | devicename}
deletes files, with options for permanent deletion or sending to the recycle bin.
User Interface Management
- System supports both console and VTY interfaces.
- Console ports are serial connections; VTY is accessed via Telnet or SSH (up to 15 concurrent users).
- Use
user-interface maximum-vty number
to configure maximum concurrent VTY logins.
IP Configuration
- Configure an IP address on interfaces using
ip address {mask | mask-length}
. - Loopback interfaces simulate networks and support multiple protocols.
Device Configuration Management
- Check physical interface status; interfaces are up by default.
- Use
undo shutdown
to re-enable disabled interfaces. -
reset saved-configuration
clears saved configurations and defaults to factory settings without specified files. -
display startup
shows current and next startup software and configuration details.
Startup Configuration
- Run
startup saved-configuration configuration-file
to set next startup configuration file. - The
reboot
command prompts to save configurations before restarting. - User passwords can be set using
set authentication-mode password password
.
Configuration File Management
- Configurations saved by default in
vrpcfg.cfg
, but custom files can be created. - In VRPv5, configuration files are stored in the
flash:
directory. - The system defaults to initialization parameters if no configuration file is present during startup.
Product Versions
- Most Huawei datacom products use VRPv5; some models like NE series utilize VRPv8.
- Console interface allows only one user login at a time (console user ID fixed at 0).
