Joachim Wiberg 925a43dead cli: add 'show operational [path /X]' and path filter to config views
Extend the existing 'show <running|startup|factory>-config' family with an
optional 'path /XPATH' argument that maps straight to the underlying 'copy
-x' flag, and add 'show operational [path /XPATH]' for symmetry with the
configuration datastores.

  admin@example:/> show running-config path /ietf-interfaces:interfaces
  admin@example:/> show operational path /ietf-system:system-state

Also, improve error feedback from the copy command slightly.

Before:
  admin@example:~$ copy running -x /foo
  Error: (null) (5)
  Error: failed retrieving running-config data

After:
  admin@example:~$ copy running -x /foo
  Error: Couldn't parse path "/foo": Prefix "foo" not defined. (5)
  Error: failed retrieving running-config data

Infix Extensions to Klish

Tailor klish and klish-plugin-sysrepo to suit Infix. The resulting CLI is, in many respects, still very similar to Juniper's JunOS, since that is also the primary inspiration for klish, with some additions and modifications.

Broadly speaking, the CLI is split up in two major modes:

  • Admin/Exec: This is the default mode, where operational commands can be issued.
  • Configure: Where a new candidate configuration is prepared.

Admin/Exec Mode

The following table lists the available commands:

Command Description Hotkey
configure Enter configuration mode
copy <src> <dst> Copy <src> to <dst>
exit Exit C-d
logout Alias for exit
shell Start system shell
show <item> Show various configuration and status

Copy Command

copy <src> <dst>

Where <src> is one of:

  • factory-config
  • startup-config
  • running-config

And <dst> is one of:

  • startup-config
  • running-config

Show Command

show <item>

The following table lists the available items:

Item Description
running-config Show the active system configuration

Configure

The following table lists the available commands:

Command Description Hotkey
abort Abandon candidate C-d
check Validate candidate
commit Commit current candidate to running-config
delete Delete configuration setting(s)
diff Summarize uncommitted changes
do Execute operational mode command
edit Descend to the specified configuration node
exit Ascend to the parent configuration node, or abort (from top)
leave Finalize candidate and apply to running-config C-z
no Alias for delete
rollback Restore candidate to running-config
set Set configuration setting
show Show configuration
top Ascend to the configuration root
up Ascend to the parent configuration node C-c
