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: <command> <object_type> <object_name>. 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
The object type can be optionally preceded by the object category. A category groups together a set
of types and mainly used with tab completion which is described below.
Tip: Getting help about help
Typing the CLI command:
gw-world:/> help help
will give information about the help command itself.
The CLI Command History
Just like the console in many versions of Microsoft Windows™, the up and down arrow keys allow
the user to move through the list of commands in the CLI command history. For example, pressing
the up arrow key once will make the last command executed appear at the current CLI prompt. After
a command appears it can be re-executed in its original form or changed first before execution.
Tab Completion
Remembering all the commands and their options can be difficult. NetDefendOS provides a feature
called tab completion which means that pressing the tab key will cause automatically completion of
the current part of the command. If completion is not possible then pressing the tab key will
alternatively display the possible command options that are available.
Optional Parameters Are Tab Completed Last
Tab completion does not work with optional parameters until all the mandatory parameters have
