Command Syntax - Cisco Prisma II Hybrid Amplifier Installation Manual

Entering Commands - Non-Modal Format
A non-modal command is entered all at once, on a single command line. For
example, the alarm command entered above could have been entered as follows:
CLI> module chassis 1 slot 6 alarm exit <Enter>
No active alarms found
Success!
CLI>
Because of its relative efficiency, this is the preferred command entry format for
network management systems. Craft operators may also find non-modal command
entry to be more efficient when they are already very familiar with the syntax of the
command being used.
