The ONOS CLI is an extension of Karaf's CLI. As a result, it is capable of leveraging features such as programmatic extensibility, the ability to load and unload bundles (among others), and SSH access.

Accessing the CLI

To access the CLI directly from a target machine, refer to these instructions.

If you're deploying ONOS from a management machine, the onos command can be used to attach to a remote ONOS instance (i.e. without logging in first). For example, to access the CLI of an ONOS running on a target machine at 192.168.56.30:

Code Block
languagetext
$ onos 192.168.56.30

 

Both Ctrl-D and logout exits the CLI.

ONOS Commands

ONOS supplies a set of its own commands. help onos lists the available commands: 

...

Code Block
languagetext
onos> help onos:add-flows

Bundle Management

Karaf's CLI commands are useful for managing the bundles (modules) that comprise the running ONOS instance. For example, list can be used to show all loaded modules:

Code Block
languagetext
onos> list
