Entering Values for Statement Options
When values include the following characters—space, single quotation marks ('), double quotation marks ("), curly braces ({}) , brackets ([ ]), or commas (,)—you must enclose the value in quotation marks (" ") or use a backslash (\) before the character.
To enter words or letters separated by a space, such as a full name with a first name and last name, enclose the words in quotation marks. For example:
To enter multiple values, separate values with a space, and enclose the values with brackets. For example:
To enter a number using a regular expression, use backslashes (\) to escape the brackets. For example:
Displaying the Current Configuration
You can display the current configuration from operational mode or from configuration mode. In configuration mode, you can display the configuration at the specified hierarchy level.
To display the current configuration from configuration mode:
[edit]user@host# show<statement-path>
[edit <hierarchy-level
>]user@host# showTo display the current configuration from operational mode:
user@host>show configuration
The configuration statements appear in a fixed order; however, when you configure the C-series platform, you can enter statements in any order.
If you omit a required statement at a particular hierarchy level, when you issue the
show
orshow configuration
command, a message indicates which statement is missing. As long as a mandatory statement is missing, the CLI continues to display this message each time you issue ashow
orshow configuration
command.For example, the following output includes a warning that lists mandatory attributes that need to be configured:
[edit]user@host#show
. . .shared {sae {configuration {aggregate-services {keepalive-time 172800;warning: missing mandatory attribute(s): 'keepalive-retry-time', 'activation-deactivation-time', 'failed-notification-retry-time'}}. . .}}
