Setting Service Properties (CLI)

Use the following procedure to define properties for a service. Property names are similar to their names in the BUI, but CLI names are usually shorter and sometimes abbreviated.

  1. Go to configuration services.
  2. Select a service and enter show to view the list of properties you can set for that service, along with their current values.
    hostname:configuration services> nis
    hostname:configuration services nis> show
    Properties:
                          <status> = online
                            domain = 
                         broadcast = true
                         ypservers =
  3. Use the set command to set the properties.
    hostname:configuration services nis> set domain="mydomain"
                            domain = mydomain (uncommitted)
  4. After setting the properties, enter commit to save and activate the new configuration.
    hostname:configuration services nis> commit
    hostname:configuration services nis> show
    Properties:
                          <status> = online
                            domain = mydomain
                         broadcast = true
                         ypservers =
