CLI Commands


This chapter provides detailed information for the following types of CSS CLI commands:

General commands are commands you can enter after you log into the CSS as a User or SuperUser

Configuration mode commands are commands you can enter after you log into the CSS as a SuperUser, and then access global configuration mode and its subset of modes

The description for each command includes:

The syntax for the command

Any related commands, when appropriate


Note CSS software is available in a Standard or Enhanced feature set. The Enhanced feature set includes the commands of the Standard feature set, and the commands for Network Address Translation (NAT) Peering, Domain Name Service (DNS), Demand-Based Content Replication (Dynamic Hot Content Overflow), Content Staging and Replication, and Network Proximity DNS.

Proximity Database and SSH are optional features. The commands for each of these features are functional only when you install their license keys.


General Commands

General commands are commands available to you immediately after you log into a CSS. The commands you can run depends on your permission level. If you have:

User permissions, the CSS limits you to the following general commands and any associated no forms in User mode:

cls

echo

enable

endbranch

exit

function

help

if

input

modify

pause

ping

prompt

set

show

terminal

traceroute

var-shift

version

while

zero


These commands, except enable, prompt, and terminal, are also available in all configuration modes.

SuperUser permissions, all general commands and SuperUser commands are available to you. You can also access global configuration mode and its commands. For more information on global configuration mode commands, refer to "Global Configuration Mode Commands".

The descriptions of the general commands in this section indicate whether you can use the command in User or SuperUser mode or both, and if it is available in all modes.

admin-shutdown

To shutdown all interfaces simultaneously, use the admin-shutdown command. This command provides a quick way to shut down all physical devices in the CSS except the Console and Management port. Use the no form of the command to restart all interfaces.

admin-shutdown
no admin-shutdown


Caution Shutting down the physical interfaces on the CSS terminates all activity on them.


Note To shutdown an individual interface, use this command in interface mode. Refer to the (config-if) admin-shutdown command.

archive

To archive files, use the archive command. Archiving is useful when you update software and want to save a script, log, or startup-config file from a previous release of software. An archive directory on the CSS disk stores the archive files.


Note The archive directory resides on the CSS hard drive. If you booted your CSS from a network-mounted system and your hard drive is not working, archive- and restore-related functions are suspended.

no expert

In expert mode, the CLI does not ask for confirmation before you execute commands that could delete or radically change operating parameters.


Note Your user profile contains the expert mode setting when you log into the CSS. If you change this setting during a CSS session, you can permanently save the setting in your profile by using the copy running-config command, or when you exit a CLI session, you can respond with a y when the CSS prompts you that the profile has changed and queries whether or not you want to save the changes to the user profile.


Command Modes

SuperUser

find ip address

To search the CSS configuration for the specified IP address, use the find ip address command. You can include a netmask for subnet (wildcard) searches. This search can help you avoid IP address conflicts when you configure the CSS.

When you use this command, it checks services, source groups, content rules, ACLs, the management port, syslog, APP sessions, and local interfaces for the specified address. If the address is found, the locations of its use are displayed. If no addresses are found, you are returned to the command prompt.

find ip address ip_or_host {subnet_mask|range number}

Syntax Description

ip_or_host

The IP address you want to find. Enter an IP address in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 192.168.11.1) or in mnemonic host-name format (for example, myhost.mydomain.com).

subnet_mask

The optional IP subnet mask. Enter the mask either:

As a prefix length in CIDR bitcount notation (for example, /24). Do not enter a space to separate the IP address from the prefix length.

In dotted-decimal notation (for example, 255.255.255.0).

If you enter a mask of 0.0.0.0, the CSS finds all addresses.

range number

The range option allows you to define how many IP addresses that you want to find, starting with the ip_or_host address. Enter a number from 1 to 65535. The default is 1.

For example, if you enter an IP address of 203.1.1.1 with a range of 10, the CSS tries to find the addresses from 203.1.1.1 through 203.1.1.10.

redundancy force-master

To force the backup CSS to be the master CSS, use the redundancy force-master command.

redundancy force-master

Command Modes

SuperUser

Usage Guidelines

You can issue the redundancy force-master command on the backup CSS if you did not explicitly designate the master CSS by using the (config) ip redundancy master command. If you did, you must unassign the master CSS by using the (config) no ip redundancy master command before you can issue the redundancy force-master command.

The forced master CSS remains the master until it goes down and comes back up as the backup, or you manually make the other CSS the master.

The redundancy force-master configuration information is not saved to the running configuration.

If you want to make the other CSS the master, issue either of the following commands on the current backup:

Issue the redundancy force-master command if you want the current backup to be a negotiated master. If a negotiated master CSS goes down, the backup CSS automatically becomes master. When the former master CSS comes up again, it becomes the backup CSS.

Issue the ip redundancy master command if you want the current backup to be the designated master. If the designated master CSS goes down and then comes up again, it regains its master status. For example, when the designated master CSS goes down, the backup CSS becomes master. When the designated master CSS comes up again, it becomes the master again.
