zFeatures and Functions of Command Line
1.1 Command Line Interface
H3C series switches provide a series of configuration commands and command line
interfaces for configuring and managing the switch. The command line interface has
the following characteristics:
zLocal configuration via the Console port and AUX port.
zLocal or remote configuration via Telnet.
zRemote configuration through dialing with modem via the AUX port.
zHierarchy command protection to avoid the unauthorized users accessing switch.
zEnter a “?” to get immediate online help.
zProvide network testing commands, such as Tracert and Ping, to fast troubleshoot
the network.
zProvide various detailed debugging information to help with network
troubleshooting.
zLog in and manage other switch directly, using the Telnet command.
zProvide FTP service for the users to upload and download files.
zProvide the function similar to Doskey to execute a history command.
zThe command line interpreter searches for target not fully matching the keywords.
You can key in either the whole keyword or part of it, as long as it is unique and not
ambiguous.
1.2 Command Line View
H3C series switches provide hierarchy protection for the command lines to avoid
unauthorized user accessing illegally.
Commands are classified into four levels, namely visit level, monitor level, system level
and manage level. They are introduced as follows:
zVisit level: Commands of this level involve command of network diagnosis tool
(such as ping and tracert), command of switch between different language
environments of user interface (language-mode) and the telnet command. The
operation of saving configuration file is not allowed on this level of commands.

Operation Manual – Command Line Interface
H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 Command Line Interface
1-2
zMonitor level: Commands of this level, including the display command and the
debugging command, are used for system maintenance, service fault diagnosis,
etc. The operation of saving configuration file is not allowed on this level of
commands.
zSystem level: Service configuration commands, including routing command and
commands on each network layer, are used to provide direct network service to
the user.
zManage level: They are commands that influence basis operation of the system
and system support module, which plays a support role on service. Commands of
this level involve file system commands, FTP commands, TFTP commands,
XModem downloading commands, user management commands, and level
setting commands.
At the same time, login users are classified into four levels that correspond to the four
command levels respectively. After users of different levels log in, they can only use
commands at the levels that are equal to or lower than their own level.
In order to prevent unauthorized users from illegal intrusion, users will be authenticated
when switching from a lower level to a higher level with super [ level ] command. User
ID authentication is performed when users at lower level switch to users at higher level.
If users pass the authentication, they will switch to a higher level; otherwise, they will
remain at the original user level.
Different command views are implemented according to different requirements. They
are related to one another. For example, after logging into the switch, you will enter user
view, in which you can only use some basic functions such as displaying the running
state and statistics information. In user view, key in system-view to enter system view,
in which you can key in different configuration commands and enter the corresponding
views.
The command line provides the following views:
zUser view
zSystem view
zPort view
zVLAN view
zVLAN interface view
zLocal-user view
zUser interface view
zFTP Client command view
zSFTP Client view
zMST region view
zPIM view
zMSDP view

1.3 Features and Functions of Command Line
1.3.1 Online Help of Command Line
The command line interface provides the following online help modes.
zFull help
zPartial help
You can get the help information through these online help commands, which are
described as follows.
1) Input “?” in any view to get all the commands in it and corresponding descriptions.
<H3C> ?
User view commands:
language-mode Specify the language environment
ping Ping function
quit Exit from current command view
super Privilege current user a specified priority level
telnet Establish one TELNET connection
tracert Trace route function
2) Input a command with a “?” separated by a space. If this position is for keywords,
all the keywords and the corresponding brief descriptions will be listed.
<H3C> language-mode ?

3) Input a command with a “?” separated by a space. If this position is for parameters,
all the parameters and their brief descriptions will be listed.
[H3C] garp timer leaveall ?
INTEGER<65-32765> Value of timer in centiseconds
(LeaveAllTime > (LeaveTime [On all ports]))
Time must be multiple of 5 centiseconds
[H3C] garp timer leaveall 300 ?
<cr>
<cr> indicates no parameter in this position. The next command line repeats the
command, you can press <Enter> to execute it directly.
4) Input a character string followed by a “?”, then all the commands beginning with
this character string will be listed.
<H3C> p?
ping pwd
5) Enter a command followed by a character string and a “?”. All the keywords
starting with this string are listed.
<H3C> display ver?
version
6) Press <Tab> after entering the first several letters of a keyword to display the
complete keyword, provided these letters can uniquely identify the keyword in this
command.
1.3.2 Displaying Characteristics of Command Line
For the information to be displayed exceeding one screen, pausing function is provided.
In this case, users can have three choices, as shown in the table below.
Table 1-2 Functions of displaying
Key or Command Function
Press <Ctrl+C> when the display pauses Stop displaying and executing
command.
Enter a space when the display pauses Continue to display the next screen of
information.
Press <Enter> when the display pauses Continue to display the next line of
information.

1.3.3 History Command of Command Line
Command line interface provides the function similar to that of DosKey. The commands
entered by users can be automatically saved by the command line interface and you
can invoke and execute them at any time later. History command buffer defaults to 10.
The operations are shown in the table below.
Table 1-3 Retrieve history command
Operation Key Result

is any.
Retrieve the next history
command
Down cursor key <↓> or
<Ctrl+N>
Retrieve the next history
command, if there is any.
Note:
Cursor keys can be used to retrieve the history commands in Windows 3.X Terminal
and Telnet. However, in Windows 9X HyperTerminal, the cursor keys ↑and ↓do not
work, because Windows 9X HyperTerminal defines the two keys differently. In this case,
use the combination keys <Ctrl+P> and <Ctrl+N> instead for the same purpose.
1.3.4 Common Command Line Error Messages
All the commands input by users can be correctly executed, if they have passed the
grammar check. Otherwise, error messages will appear. The common error messages
are listed in the following table.
Table 1-4 Common command line error messages
Error messages Causes
Cannot find the command.
Cannot find the keyword.
Wrong parameter type.
Unrecognized command
The value of the parameter exceeds the range.
Incomplete command The input command is incomplete.

Ambiguous command The parameters entered are not specific.
1.3.5 Editing Characteristics of Command Line
Command line interface provides the basic command editing function and supports to
edit multiple lines. A command cannot be longer than 256 characters. See the table
below.
Table 1-5 Editing functions
Key Function
Common keys
Insert from the cursor position and the cursor
moves to the right, if the edition buffer still has
free space.
Backspace Delete the character preceding the cursor and
the cursor moves backward.
Leftwards cursor key <←> or
<Ctrl+B> Move the cursor a character backward
Rightwards cursor key <→> or
<Ctrl+F> Move the cursor a character forward
Up cursor key <↑> or <Ctrl+P>
Down cursor key <↓> or
<Ctrl+N>
Retrieve the history command.
<Tab>
Pressing <Tab> after entering part of a keyword
enables the fuzzy help function. If finding a
unique match, the system substitutes the
complete keyword for the incomplete one and
displays it in the next line. If there are several
matches or no match at all, the system does not
modify the incomplete keyword and displays it
again in the next line.
