Command Line Interface
Limitation on Movements
As commands are entered, they are recorded in a history log. Note
these limitations on movement that result from use of the history log:
◆
If a command has more than 60 characters, the command runs,
but the command is not recorded in the history log, and the
position in the tree does not change, as shown in the following
example. Because the command is not recorded in the history, a
subsequent asynchronous command (navigation command)
cannot depend on it.
Root> config zoning addWwnMem TheUltimateZone
10:00:00:00:C9:22:9B:64
Root>
◆
Whenever the position in the CLI command tree moves to a new
branch (for example, config to maint, config to config.port, or
config.port
to config), the history log is cleared. In this case, any
asynchronous commands (for example, the up-arrow command
<ESC>[A
or the up-arrow keyboard symbol) cannot move the
position back towards the root, as shown in this example:
Root> config
Root.Config> port
Root.Config.Port> <ESC>[A
Root.Config.Port>
◆
Whenever the position in the CLI command tree moves to a new
branch (config, maint, perf, or show), the history log is cleared.
Command
Parameters
Some command parameters accept character strings that include
spaces. Quotation marks are required to include spaces in a string.
For example:
Config.System> location Building_24_Room_16
Config.System> location "Building 24 Room 16"
For parameters that accept a string, if spaces are not included, the
quotation marks are not required around that string.
To include quotation marks in a string, use the escape character (\)
before the quotation marks.
Config.System> location "Building 24 \"Joe’s PlayLab\""
A null string can be created by using the quotation marks without
any space between them. For example:
config.system> location ""
