# ebox modify

Modify the operational state of an E-Box.

## Usage

```

## Required Parameters

| `--id ID` | Specifies the EBox ID. |
| --- | --- |

## Options

| `--enable` | Enable the EBox. |
| --- | --- |
| `--disable` | Disable the EBox. |
| `--power-on` | Power on the EBox. |
| `--power-off` | Power off the EBox. This command first disables the EBox. |
