AMI Overview
Additionally, the user only needs to enter the minimum number of letters in a
command which would make the command unique to that level. For exam-
ple, the user could enter
co m s instead of configuration module show .
However, the minimum number of letters entered must also distinguish the
command from global commands, such as
top or up . For example, you
would have to enter topo to distinguish topology from the global command
top or upc to distinguish upc from the global command up .
AMI is described throughout this chapter using the following conventions:
• All AMI output, including user prompts, is shown in
courier
font.
• All user input; e.g., sub-commands, is shown in
avant garde
font.
• Each submenu is described in a separate section.
• Commands that are submenus are immediately followed by a “>”
symbol. The “>” should not be entered as part of the command.
• Required parameter values are indicated inside angle brackets “< >”.
• Optional parameter values are indicated inside square brackets “[ ]”.
The “[ ]” should not be entered as part of the command.
• Parameter values that require a choice are separated by vertical bars
and are enclosed in parentheses “( | )” Neither the vertical bar nor
the parentheses should be entered as part of the command.
• Optional parameter names are indicated with dashes “-”.
• All port numbers are in BNP (board, network module, port) notation.
