Reference for the Business Policy Switch 2000 Command Line Interface
Chapter 1
CLI Basics
You can manage the BPS 2000 with a number of tools. You can use either
graphical user interface (GUI), the Java Device Manager (DM) or the Web-based
management system. You can use the console interface (CI menus), or you can use
the command line interface (CLI). (For more information on using the DM, refer
to Reference for the Business Policy Switch 2000 Management Software Version
1.2. For more information on using the Web-based management system, refer to
Using Web-based Management for the Business Policy Switch 2000 Software
Version 1.2. For more information on using the CI menus, refer to Using the
Business Policy Switch 2000 Software Version 1.2.
The BPS 2000 command line interface (CLI) is a management tool that provides
methods for configuring, managing, and monitoring the operational functions of
the switch. You access the CLI through a direct connection to the switch console
port, or remotely using Telnet. For a complete, alphabetical list of CLI commands,
refer to Appendix A.
You can use the CLI interactively, or you can load and execute CLI “scripts.” CLI
scripts are loaded in one of the following ways:
• By entering the
configure network command.
• By manually loading the script in the console menu.
• By automatically loading the script at boot-up
