Avaya CLI Hints and Tips
CLI Command Conventions
• CLI commands for you to enter are in the computer bold font.
• Information displayed on screen as well as parameters of a command are displayed in
computer font.
• Parameters that you enter are in pointed brackets <>.
• Alternate but mandatory keywords are grouped in braces {} and separated by a bar |.
• Optional keywords are in square brackets [ ] and options are separated by a bar |.
• If you enter an alphanumeric string of two words or more, enclose the string in quotes.
The Avaya CLI has several features which improve ease of use:
• To display all commands available in a context type a question mark.
• To display all commands starting with a certain string, type the first few letters followed by a
question mark.
• To get help containing all commands parameters with their legal values as well as its syntax
and an example, type a question mark at the end of command or at the stage where it is
unique.
• Use the Tab key to complete an unambiguous command.
