When commands take effect
Each command is completely processed before the next command can be entered. Some
commands prompt for confirmation before they are processed. In these cases, you
must confirm or cancel by entering Y or N respectively.
A few commands require an SCPS reboot before they become effective. In these
cases, the SCPS database is updated when you enter the command and you are
prompted that the change will not take effect until the SCPS reboots. You may
choose to reboot at that time, or you may decline. When the SCPS reboots, your
session and all other sessions on the SCPS are terminated.
For example, the Server FLASH command requires a reboot before it becomes
effective. Similarly, if you enter a Port Set command that changes the CLI access
character, you will be asked if you want to reboot. Using a Port Set command to
change other port values may not necessarily require an SCPS reboot.
5.3 Understanding Conventions
This section describes the parts of an SCPS command and the conventions used in
this document to describe a command’s syntax.
Command syntax
A command may have four types of syntax: positional commands, positional
parameters, keyword parameters and keyword values. The following examples
demonstrate the syntax types.
The following Set Port command changes the baud rate and flow control settings for
port 2.
> PORT 2 SET BAUD=57600 FLOW=XONXOF
