2.1.4. The CLI Chapter 2. Management and Maintenance Tip: Correctly routing management traffic If there is a problem with the management interface when communicating alongside VPN tunnels, check the main routing table and look for an all-nets route to the VPN tunnel. Management traffic may be using this route. If no specific route is set up for the management interface then all management traffic coming from NetDefendOS will automatically be routed into the VPN tunnel. If this is the case then a route should be added by the administrator to route management traffic destined for the management network to the correct interface. 2.1.4. The CLI NetDefendOS provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) for administrators who prefer or require a command line approach to administration, or who need more granular control of system configuration. The CLI is available either locally through the serial console port (connection to this 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. CLI Command Structure CLI commands usually begin with the structure: . For example, to display an IP address object called my_address, the command would be: gw-world:/> show Address IP4Address my_address The second part of the command specifies the object type and is necessary to identify what category of object the object name refers to (consider that the same name might exist in two different categories). 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 36
