set ip dns domain-name
domain_name_value
consists of three keywords (
ip
,
dns
and
domain-name
) and one argument (
domain_name_value
).
When you use the command to configure your Gateway, you would replace the argument with a value appro-
priate to your site.
For example:
set ip dns domain-name ARRIS.com
Guidelines: CONFIG Commands
The following table provides guidelines for entering and formatting CONFIG commands.
If a command is ambiguous or miskeyed, the CLI prompts you to enter additional information. For example,
you must specify which virtual circuit you are configuring when you are setting up a ARRIS® Gateway.
Displaying Current Gateway Settings
You can use the
view
command to display the current CONFIG settings for your ARRIS® Gateway. If you enter
the
view
command at the top level of the CONFIG hierarchy, the CLI displays the settings for all enabled func-
tions. If you enter the
view
command at an intermediate node, you see settings for that node and its subn-
odes.
Step Mode: A CLI Configuration Technique
The ARRIS® Gateway command line interface includes a step mode to automate the process of entering config-
uration settings. When you use the CONFIG step mode, the command line interface prompts you for all
required and optional information. You can then enter the configuration values appropriate for your site with-
out having to enter complete CLI commands.
When you are in step mode, the command line interface prompts you to enter required and optional settings.
If a setting has a default value or a current setting, the command line interface displays the default value for
the command in parentheses. If a command has a limited number of acceptable values, those values are pre-
sented in brackets, with each value separated by a vertical line.

Rules for entering CONFIG commands
Command verbs
CONFIG commands must start with a command verb (set, view, delete).
You can truncate CONFIG verbs to three characters (set, vie, del).
CONFIG verbs are case-insensitive. You can enter “SET,” “Set,” or “set.”
Keywords
Keywords are case-insensitive. You can enter “Ethernet,” “ETHERNET,” or “ethernet” as a keyword
without changing its meaning.
Keywords can be abbreviated to the length that they are differentiated from other keywords.
Argument Text
Text strings can be as many as 64 characters long, unless otherwise specified. In some cases they
may be as long as 255 bytes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Text strings may be enclosed in double (“) or single (‘) quote marks. If the text string includes an
embedded space, it must be enclosed in quotes.
Special characters are represented using backslash notation.
Numbers
Enter numbers as integers, or in hexadecimal, where so noted.
IP addresses
Enter IP addresses in dotted decimal notation (0 to 255).
