  • edit - this command is associated with the set command. It can be used to edit values of properties that contain a large amount of text, such as scripts, but it works with all editable properties. Depending on the capabilities of the terminal, either a fullscreen editor, or a single line editor is launched to edit the value of the specified property.
  • find - The find command has the same arguments as set, plus the flag arguments like disabled or active that take values yes or no depending on the value of respective flag. To see all flags and their names, look at the top of print command's output. The find command returns internal numbers of all items that have the same values of arguments as specified.
  • move - changes the order of items in list.
    • Parameters
      • first argument specifies the item(-s) being moved.
      • the second argument specifies the item before which to place all items being moved (they are placed at the end of the list if the second argument is omitted).
  • print - shows all information that's accessible from particular command level. Thus, /system clock print shows system date and time, /ip route print shows all routes, etc. If there's a list of items in current level and they are not read-only, i.e. you can change/remove them (example of read-only item list is /system history, which shows a history of executed actions), then print command also assigns numbers that are used by all commands that operate with items in this list.
    • Common Parameters
      • from - show only specified items, in the same order in which they are given.
      • where - show only items that match specified criteria. The syntax of where the property is similar to the find command.
      • brief - forces the print command to use tabular output form
      • detail - forces the print command to use property=value output form
      • count-only - shows the number of items
      • file - prints the contents of the specific submenu into a file on the router.
      • interval - updates the output from the print command for every interval seconds.
      • oid - prints the OID value for properties that are accessible from SNMP
      • without-paging - prints the output without stopping after each screenful.
  • remove - removes specified item(-s) from a list.
  • set - allows you to change values of general parameters or item parameters. The set command has arguments with names corresponding to values you can change. Use ? or double [Tab] to see list of all arguments. If there is a list of items in this command level, then set has one action argument that accepts the number of item (or list of numbers) you wish to set up. This command does not return anything.
  • reset - reset parameters to default values
