CLI Reference
The following sections help you get started with the CLI Reference:
Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) on page 1
SMS command reference on page 7
SMS attributes and objects on page 38

Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
The command line interface (CLI) can be used to configure many aspects of
the Trend Micro™ TippingPoint™ SMS. It includes wizards, high levelcommands, and low level commands.
Note
To use the SMS CLI, you must be logged in with an account that has SuperUser
rights or the Access SMS CLI capability enabled (on the SMS, go to Admin >Authentication and Authorization > Roles > Capabilities > Admin).

This section includes:• The general format of the CLI commands.
• Detailed information about commands, objects, and attributes.

Usage
Most SMS commands consist of the following elements:
command — the name of the command you want to issue
object — the name of a collection of related attributes (attribs)
attrib — the name of a data variable or parameter on which you want to run
the command[=value] — optional syntax you can use with the set command and otherwritable commands to define the value of the attrib you specify. If you do not
use this syntax, the system goes into interactive mode and prompts you for1

SMS Command Line Interface Reference

the value. See Command types on page 2 for more information about
interactive commands.
Note
To clear the value of any attribute type a period (.) after the equal sign (=) or
when prompted.

These elements are case-sensitive. You can use any of the following syntax torun an SMS command:commandcommand objectcommand object.attrib
command object.attrib=value

Other SMS commands use a syntax similar to standard UNIX commands, as
shown in the following example:
command -option value

Command types
SMS commands are either read, write, or read and write. In addition,commands are either interactive, non-interactive, or might support both
options.
• Interactive commands — automatically prompt you for attribute values
if you use the appropriate syntax. Interactive commands also provide
you with the current values of their attributes.
• Non-interactive commands — are either read-only or require you to
specify the values you want to set. For example, the get command is
non-interactive because it is read-only. As another example, the datecommand is non-interactive. If you want to set the date, you must typedate value.

2

SMS Command Line Interface Reference

Interactive mode syntax
You can use any of the following syntax options to initiate an interactive CLI
command:command — If you type the command name, the CLI prompts you to set values
for all attribs associated with that command.
command object — If you specify the object of a particular command, the

CLI prompts you to set values for all attribs associated with that object.
command object.attrib — If you specify an object and attribute of aparticular command, the CLI prompts you to set the value of the attributeyou specified.
To see an example of how to use the set command, see Set all system
information using interactive mode on page 3.
Set all system information using interactive mode

Following is an example of the set command in interactive mode. Items inbold are typed by the user. Items in brackets ([ ]) indicate the current valueof the attribute specified.
Procedure
1.

Type the following command: set sys
The system returns prompts for information. Default values are listed inbrackets. To use the default value, press Enter.

2.

The system prompts you to set the value for the contact attribute:

3.

Type a value for the location attribute and press Enter: System
location (sys.location=[First floor lab]) =4.

Type a value for the name attribute and press Enter: System name(sys.name=[sms25]) =5.

The system returns the following confirmation message:

System contact (sys.contact=[Customer Contact]) = Brit

Result: Success3

SMS Command Line Interface Reference

6.

To see a summary of what you set, type get sys:
System contact(sys.contact ) = Brit
System location(sys.location ) = First floor lab
System name(sys.name) = sms25
System serial number (sys.serialNum) = X-SMA-ST-SMS25-0001

Remote paths
Several commands accept remote paths as input. The remote paths specify aresource on an external server that can be accessed by the SMS server.
Remote files that can be specified as input to an operation may be accessedusing HTTPS, FTP, NFS, or SMB (Samba) protocols.
Remote directories that are used for saving SMS-based files to a remote
server can be accessed through the NFS or SMB protocols. Files are always
mounted with read-only access. Directories are mounted read-only whenpossible.
Remote paths are specified as a single string value. The details for each
protocol are listed in the following sections. In each example, items in italics
are variables. When using the path syntax, you must replace them with theappropriate values for your paths. Items in brackets ([ ]) are optional.
FTP

You can use the following formats for the FTP protocol:• Complete specification: ftp://[username:password@]server[:port]/
directory/filename• Anonymous FTP: ftp://server/directory/filename• Specifying a user name and password: ftp://username:password@server/directory/filename• FTP Examples:
ftp://10.11.12.13/pub/sms-0.0-0.500.pkg

HTTPS

You can use the following format for the HTTPS protocol:• Complete specification: https://[username:password@]server[:port]/directory/filename

NFS

You can use the following formats for the NFS protocol:• Remote directory specification — server:/exportedDirectory• Remote file specification — server:/exportedDirectory/filename• NFS Example: nfsserver.domain.com:/public/upgrades/
sms-0.0-0.500.pkg

SMB (Samba)

You can use the following formats for the SMB protocol:• Remote file specification: //server/sharename/directory/filename• Complete specification: //server/sharename[/directory][/
filename] [-o option-list]

Options can be provided to the SMB mount operation by appending them tothe end of the mount point value, and using a space character to separate thevalues. Options might include the username, password, and workgroup.
Options can be joined together using a comma as a separator.
• SMB Example: //winbox/pub/sms.pkg -oworkgroup=mydomn,username=steve,password=ps111

traceroute [-dFInrvx] [-f first_ttl] [-g gateway][-i iface] [-mmax_ttl] [-p port][-q queries][-s src_addr] [-t tos] [-w waittime] [-z pausemsecs] host

Description
The traceroute command attempts to trace the route an IP packet would
follow to a remote host by launching UDP probe packets with a small ttl(time to live) then listening for an ICMP time exceeded reply from a
gateway.
Probes start with a ttl of one and increase by one until we get an ICMP port
unreachable (which means we got to host) or hit a max (which defaults to 30
hops and can be changed with the -m flag). Three probes (change with -q
flag) are sent at each ttl setting and a line is printed showing the ttl,

address of the gateway and round trip time of each probe. If the probe
answers come from different gateways, the address of each responding
system is printed. If there is no response within a five second timeout
interval (changed with the -w flag), an asterisk (*) is printed for that probe.

For IPv4 (-4 flag) or IPv6 (-6 flag) tracerouting can be forced using theappropriate flag. By default, the program tries to resolve the name given andautomatically choose the appropriate protocol. If resolving a host namereturns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, traceroute uses IPv4.

32

SMS Command Line Interface Reference

OptionDescription-4

Force IPv4 tracerouting.

-6

Force IPv6 tracerouting.

-f

Set the initial time-to-live used in the first outgoing probe packet.

-F

Set the don’t fragment bit.

-d

Enable socket level debugging.

-gSpecify a loose source route gateway (8 maximum).

-i

Specify a network interface to obtain the source IP address for outgoing probe
packets. This is normally only useful on a multi-homed host. (See the -s flag foranother way to do this).

-I

Use ICMP ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.

-m

Set the max time-to-live (max number of hops) used in outgoing probe packets.
The default is 30 hops (the same default used for TCP connections).

-n

Print hop addresses numerically rather than symbolically and numerically(saves a nameserver address-to-name lookup for each gateway found on thepath).

-p

Set the base UDP port number used in probes (default is 33434). Traceroute
hopes that nothing is listening on UDP ports base to base + nhops - 1 at thedestination host (so an ICMP PORT_UNREACHABLE message will be returned toterminate the route tracing). If something is listening on a port in the default
range, this option can be used to pick an unused port range.

-r

Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attachednetwork. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned.
This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface that has noroute through it (e.g., after the interface was dropped by routed).

-s

Use the specified IP address as the source address in outgoing probe packets.
This is usually given as an IP address, not a hostname. On multi-homed hosts
with more than one IP address, this option can force the source address to be adifferent IP address than the interface from which the probe packet is sent. If
the IP address is not one of the host’s interface addresses, an error is returnedand nothing is sent.

33

SMS Command Line Interface Reference

OptionDescription-t

Set the type-of-service in probe packets to the following value (default zero).
The value must be a decimal integer in the range 0 to 255. This option can beused to see if different types-of-service result in different paths. (If you are notrunning 4.4bsd, this may be academic since the normal network services like ftp
don’t let you control the TOS). Not all values of TOS are legal or meaningful - see
the IP spec for definitions. Useful values are probably ‘-t 16’ (low delay) and ‘-t 8’(high throughput).

-v

Use Verbose output. Received ICMP packets other than TIME_EXCEEDED and
UNREACHABLE values are listed.

-w

Set the time (in seconds) to wait for a response to a probe (default five seconds).

-z

Set the time (in seconds) to pause for a response to a probe.
