Audience

This document is written for experienced central office system managers who are familiar with routing, routing protocols, and industry standard router configuration.

Document Organization

This document is organized into the following chapters:

"IP Commands"

Commands for managing and monitoring the Internet Protocol on the Avici router.

"OSPF Commands"

Commands for configuring and monitoring the Open Shortest Path First routing protocol.

"Integrated IS-IS Commands"

Commands for configuring and monitoring the integrated system to integrated system (IS-IS) protocol.

"BGP Node and Neighbor Commands"

Commands for configuring and monitoring the router as a BGP entity and for configuring and monitoring BGP neighbors.

"Routing and Forwarding Policy Commands"

Commands for configuring and monitoring route filtering and redistribution between routing domains.

Using the Command Reference

The IPriori CLI Reference provides detailed information about the commands on the Avici router. Information within each chapter is organized alphabetically by command name.

Each reference page contains the name of the command followed by a short summary of what the command does.

The Syntax section contains a complete syntax of that command. Refer to the "Typographical and Keying Convention" section for more information on the meaning of these syntax statements. Each Syntax section also contains a detailed description of any user-supplied variables used in the command syntax.

The Description section describes the command in detail, including any restrictions or required order for use of the command.

The Examples section provides examples of the command's usage on the command line. Wherever possible, the context of the command is given by preceding it with commands that would be required before the command can be issued. Appropriate prompts are also included for each command. Refer to the IPriori Software Configuration Guide for more information on navigation in the CLI and command modes.

The Related Commands section provides references to other commands.
