Instance commands are also referred to as top commands. These commands are used to display detailed information about a specific Avaya SBC node in the network and EMS node with multiple Avaya SBC nodes.

Instance commands are only available within the instance mode, which is enabled when you run the clipcs select command for a node or application instance. Instance commands communicate directly with the active Avaya SBC node or communicate with the selected EMS or Avaya SBC application instance that runs on a single platform. Instance commands provide output from the active node or instance only.

Screen displays for the presented instance commands are automatically refreshed at a rate determined by the refresh command. The default refresh rate is 5 seconds.
