NTERFACE
This chapter provides a basic description of the command line interface.
For a more detailed description about specific features, please refer to the
appropriate section in Chapter 3, Configuring the Switch.
Accessing the CLI
The switch can be managed by entering a sequence of command keywords
and parameters. Using the switch’s command-line interface (CLI) is very
similar to entering commands on a UNIX system. To use the CLI, choose
Command Line in the console’s main menu, and then enter any of the
commands described in this chapter.
Entering Commands
This section describes how to enter CLI commands.
Keywords and Arguments
A CLI command is a series of keywords and arguments. Keywords identify
a command, and arguments specify configuration parameters. For example,
in the command “show portstatus 1,”
show
and
portstatus
are keywords,
and
1
is an argument that specifies the port.
