Structure of this Guide
This guide documents each ExtremeWare command. Related commands are grouped together and
organized into chapters based on their most common usage. The chapters reflect the organization of the
ExtremeWare Software User Guide . If a specific command is relevant to a wide variety of functions and
could be included in a number of different chapters, we have attempted to place the command in the
most logical chapter. Within each chapter, commands appear in alphabetical order. You can use the
Index of Commands to locate specific commands if they do not appear where you expect to find them.
NOTE
The ExtremeWare command line interface (CLI) supports only the US character set. If you are using a
pseudo-tty session, the output of the CLI commands may not be displayed completely. This usually
happens if the output is too long.
For each command, the following information is provided:
• Command Syntax
—The actual syntax of the command. The syntax conventions (the use of braces or
curly brackets, for example) are defined in the section “Understanding the Command Syntax” on
page 67.
• Description —A brief (one sentence) summary of what the command does.
• Syntax Description
—The definition of any keywords and options used in the command.
• Default —The defaults, if any, for this command. The default can be the default action of the
command if optional arguments are not provided, or it can be the default state of the switch (such as
for an enable/disable command).
• Usage Guidelines
—Information to help you use the command. This may include prerequisites,
prohibitions, and related commands, as well as other information.
• Example —Examples of the command usage, including output, if relevant.
• History —The version of ExtremeWare in which the command was introduced, and version(s) where
it was modified, if appropriate.

Commands designated as “available on all platforms” are supported on Summit chipset-based,
“i” series, “e” series, and “3” series platforms.
