2.1.4. The CLI Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance Not all object types belong in a category. The object type UserAuthRule is a type without a category and will appear in the category list after pressing tab at the beginning of a command. The category is sometimes also referred to as a context. Selecting Object Categories With some categories, it is necessary to first choose a member of that category with the cc (change category) command before individual objects can be manipulated. This is the case, for example, with routes. There can be more than one routing table, so when adding or manipulating a route we first have to use the cc command to identify which routing table we are interested in. Suppose a route is to be added to the routing table main. The first command would be: gw-world:/> cc RoutingTable main gw-world:/main> Notice that the command prompt changes to indicate the current category. We can now add the route: gw-world:/main> add Route Name=new_route1 Interface=lan Network=lannet To deselect the category, the command is cc on its own: gw-world:/main> cc gw-world:/> The categories that require an initial cc command before object manipulation have a "/" character following their names when displayed by a show command. For example: RoutingTable/. Specifying Multiple Property Values Sometimes a command property may need multiple values. For example, some commands use the property AccountingServers and more than one value can be specified for this property. When specifying multiple values, they should be separated by a comma "," character. For example, if three servers server1, server2, server3 need to be specified then the property assignment in the command would be: AccountingServers=server1,server2,server3 Inserting into Rule Lists Rule lists such as the IP rule set have an ordering which is important. When adding using the CLI add command, the default is to add a new rule to the end of a list. When placement at a particular position is crucial, the add command can include the Index= parameter as an option. Inserting at the first position in a list is specified with the parameter Index=1 in an add command, the second position with the parameter Index=2 and so on. Referencing by Name The naming of some objects is optional and is done with the Name= parameter in an add command. An object, such as a threshold rule, will always have an Index value which indicates its position in the rule list but can optionally be allocated a name as well. Subsequent manipulation of such a rule 36
