BASIC COMMANDS

This section describes basic commands to use them as the command line interface. These
basic commands manage the host system by using the concept of command (verb) and
target (Managed Element) proposed by DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force).
Each basic command functions to a specified target. The target points the managed element
by address path much like the path to a file in a file system.
Both absolute path, which is started from "/", and relative path are available for pointing the
target. Specifically, "." and ".." are supported. The "." means the current default target and the
".." means the parent target.
Each basic command functions to the current default target when the <target>, which is an
argument pointing a target for the command, is not specified to the basic command. The
current default target can be changed by the cd command. The current default target is
"/admin1" when the command line interface session is started.
The current default target is displayed at the left side of the command prompt ("->").
Help string, command syntax, of each command appears when "-h" option is specified as the
<options> of the command. The argument placed between "[" and "]" is omissible.
The user must have an account as the following user level to use the
basic commands:
• cd, exit, help, show and version can be used under an account as
all user levels.
• stop, start and reset are needed an account as operator or
administrator user level to use these commands.
• set is needed an account as administrator user level to use this
command.
Maximum number of input character for command line interface is 250.

The cd command changes the current default target to the target specified by the
<target> argument.
