of ports as well.
- Listing Ports

- Listing Port Attributes

Consider that is a lot of text to type. If we want, we can reformat that command.
Long DOS commands and be continued on the next line with the ^ character.
perl .\lf_portmod.pl --manager jedtest ^
--card 1 --quiet 1 --port_name eth1 ^
--show_port "RxDrop,Rxp,IP"
Produces the same output:
- Loading a test scenario
- Saved test scenarios are often referred to as 'databases'
lf_portmod.pl --load day_238
This matches the same database name seen in the Status tab database dropdown.
- Admin-down a port
-
lf_portmod.pl --manager 192.168.1.101 --card 1 --port_name eth2 --set_ifstate down

lf_portmod.pl --manager 192.168.1.101 --card 1 --port_name eth2 --cmd reset
- Sending a specific CLI command to the LANforge manager:
- It is possible to directly pass a command to the LANforge manager:
lf_portmod.pl --manager 192.168.1.101 --cli_cmd "scan 1 1 sta0"
