WS5100 Series Switch CLI Reference Guide 1-6
It’s possible to abbreviate commands and keywords to allow a unique abbreviation. For
example, “configure terminal” can be abbreviated as
config t
. Since the abbreviated
command is unique, the switch accepts the abbreviation and executes the command.
Enter the help command (available in any command mode) to provide the following
description:
WS5100>help
CLI provides advanced help feature. When you need help,
anytime at the command line please press '?'.
If nothing matches, the help list will be empty and you must backup
until entering a '?' shows the available options.
Two styles of help are provided:
1. Full help is available when you are ready to enter a
command argument (e.g. 'show ?') and describes each possible
argument.
2. Partial help is provided when an abbreviated argument is entered
and you want to know what arguments match the input
(e.g. 'show ve?'.)

1.3 Using the no and default Forms of Commands
Almost every command has a
no
form. Use the no form to disable a feature or function.
Use the command without the no keyword to re-enable a disabled feature or enable a
feature disabled by default.
1.3.1 Basic Conventions
Keep the following conventions in mind while working within the CLI:
• Always use ? at the end of a command to view sub-modes that can be used. If yes,
type the first few characters of the sub-mode and press the tab key to add the sub-
mode. Continue using
? until you reach the final sub-mode you would like to use.
• Pre-defined CLI commands and keywords are case-insensitive:
cfg = Cfg = CFG
.
However (for clarity), CLI commands and keywords are displayed in this guide using
mixed case. For example,
apPolicy
,
trapHosts
,
channelInfo
.
• Enter commands in uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. Only passwords are case
sensitive.
