This section describes ONOS's Karaf-based CLI.

Overview

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

For local installations of ONOS, the ONOS CLI can be accessed with karaf clean. For remote installations, e.g. ONOS instances deployed with onos-package and onos-install, the onos command can be used to attach to the remote running instance. For example, to access the CLI of an ONOS instance running at 192.168.56.30:

 

$ onos 192.168.56.30

Both Ctrl-D and logout exits the CLI.

Note, in the case that karaf clean was used to start the CLI, exiting the CLI will cause the ONOS instance to terminate.

ONOS Commands

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

onos> help onos

onos:add-flows                  Installs a flow rules
