Names
All named components of the switch configuration must have a unique name. Names must begin with
an alphabetical character and are delimited by whitespace, unless enclosed in quotation marks.
Symbols
You may see a variety of symbols shown as part of the command syntax. These symbols explain how to
enter the command, and you do not type them as part of the command itself. Table 4 summarizes
command syntax symbols.
Line-Editing Keys
Table 5 describes the line-editing keys available using the CLI.
Table 4: Command Syntax Symbols
angle brackets < > Enclose a variable or value. You must specify the variable or value. For
example, in the syntax
config vlan <name> ipaddress <ip_address>
you must supply a VLAN name for
<name>
and an address for
<ip_address>
when entering the command. Do not type the angle
brackets.
square brackets [ ] Enclose a required value or list of required arguments. One or more
values or arguments can be specified. For example, in the syntax
use image [primary | secondary]
you must specify either the primary or secondary image when entering
the command. Do not type the square brackets.
vertical bar | Separates mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be
entered. For example, in the syntax
config snmp community [readonly | readwrite] <string>
you must specify either the read or write community string in the
command. Do not type the vertical bar.
braces { } Enclose an optional value or a list of optional arguments. One or more
values or arguments can be specified. For example, in the syntax
reboot {<date> <time> | cancel}
you can specify either a particular date and time combination, or the
keyword
cancel
to cancel a previously scheduled reboot. If you do not
specify an argument, the command will prompt, asking if you want to
reboot the switch now. Do not type the braces.
