2.1.4. The CLI Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance is described below), or remotely via an Ethernet interface using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol from an SSH client. The CLI provides a comprehensive set of commands that allow the display and modification of configuration data as well as allowing runtime data to be displayed and allowing system maintenance tasks to be performed. This section only provides a summary for using the CLI. For a complete reference for all CLI commands, see the separate D-Link CLI Reference Guide. The most often used CLI commands are: • add - Adds an object such as an IP address or a rule to a NetDefendOS configuration. • set - Sets some property of an object to a value. For example, this might be used to set the source interface on an IP rule. • show - Displays the current categories or display the values of a particular object. • delete - Deletes a specific object.

Note: Category and Context The term category is sometimes referred to as the context of an object. A command like add can also include object properties. To add a new IP4Address object with an IP address of 10.49.02.01, the command would be: gw-world:/> add IP4Address my_address Address=10.49.02.01 The object type can be optionally preceded by the object category.
