Installation and Operation Manual
Arguments
If a command or subcommand requires arguments, you can type the
?
character after the last
subcommand to display a description of the required parameters to complete the command line.
For example:
When you type
configure mgt route add ?
the screen will show the three required
parameters and one optional parameter used to configure a static route:
FastSwitch%> configure mgt route add ?
___________Help for "configure mgt route add "______________________
add Add static route; requires 4 parameter(s)
destination IP network address (a.b.c.d)
destination IP mask (a.b.c.d)
destination IP gateway (a.b.c.d)
metric (1-255) )
Entering a Command String
Each command string is executed by pressing the
Enter
key (or <
cr
>). The general syntax is:
command
<subcommand(s)>
if any
<required argument(s)>
if any
Aborting a Command
Use the
CTRL-C
character to abort a command at any time and return to the main prompt.
Command Short Cuts
You only have to type the minimum number of characters needed to identify a command or
subcommand to the CLI. When space or return is entered, the CLI will expand the abbreviation to
the full command name.
For example:
The full command name
configure
may be selected by any of the following:
FastSwitch%> conf
FastSwitch%> confi
FastSwitch%> config
When a space is entered, all of the above strings will expand to
configure
. Extra spaces between
command, subcommands or arguments are ignored.Arguments composed of strings may also be
abbreviated to minimum uniqueness.
Command Recall
There are two ways to recall previously entered commands:
•
Arrow UP Recall
Use the
Arrow Up
key to recall previously entered commands in reverse order.
Use the
backspace
key to edit the command string, if needed.
Press
Enter
to execute the command string.
•
Command History Recall
Type
show history
to display a numbered history of the previous 20 commands.
At the command prompt, type
!
[##]
where
##
is the history screen line number of the desired
command.
