The OnBoard appliance CLI configuration options are organized in a hierarchy called a parameter tree. You can use the get, show and list commands to show parameters. You can also use the get command to show the values of individual parameters at the end of a branch.
The following diagram illustrates one parameter in the OnBoard appliance cycli parameter tree. As shown in the example in
Figure 7.1, 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.
In 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 the following command:
