CHAPTER 1: Using the Command Line Interface
Deleting text in the Command Line Interface
To delete characters to the left of the cursor, press the Backspace
key, or press ^h.
To delete all characters from the current position of the cursor

settings and policies
Existing settings can be modified using the WatchGuard
CLI in two ways:
1 An existing item can be overwritten/replaced with an
entirely new item
2 Additional entries or qualifications can be appended to
an existing item
Adding entries to an existing item requires use of the
“plus” character (+).
If a setting or entry already exists in this WatchGuard
appliance, add a “plus” character (+) before additional elements
to edit that setting. In the following example, an
additional host with an IP address of 199.86.77.100 is added
to the address group “VPNnet”
WG(config)#address VPNnet + -host
199.86.77.100
WG(config)#exit
Commit before exit? (Y/N):y
WG#_
The named address group object VPNnet now has an additional
(host) member with an IP address of 199.86.77.100.

param1 param2} {group2 param1 param2} etc.). In the fol-
