cycli Parameters and ArgumentsThe OnBoard CLI configuration options are organized in a hierarchy called a parameter tree. You can use the get, show, and list commands to show parameters (see get | show and list). You can also use the get command to show the values of individual parameters at the end of a branch.No tools is provided to find out which parameters let you add parameters to them, and no way exists to find out what values are accepted when setting parameters. Expert users can look up which branches allow parameters in the /etc/param.conf file. Parameters That Work With the cycli add Command (Sheet 1 of 9) shows branches of the tree that let you add parameters to them.The following diagram illustrates one parameter in the OnBoard cycli parameter tree. As shown in the example in Figure 11-1, each branch in the parameter tree is made up of one or more parameters, one nested below the other. In the figure, the top-level network parameter is followed by the second-level interface parameter, which is then followed by the third-level failover parameter. No parameters are nested under failover.Example Branch in the cycli Parameter TreeIn this branch the only commands supported are “get” and set.” All of the parameters in a branch are entered together on a single cycli command line. For example, to get the value set for failover, you would enter:Entering “set” with “yes” enables Ethernet failover; “no” disables it. To set failover, you would enter the following command in interactive mode:
cli> set network interface failover <Tab><Tab>
