Using the CLI
Command Keywords and Arguments
A CLI command is built up of a series of keywords and arguments:
Keywords identify the command’s action
Arguments specify the command’s configuration parameters
The CLI commands are not case sensitive.
The general CLI syntax is represented by the following format:
device-name[(config- ...)]#keyword(s) [
argument(s)
] ...
[keyword(s)] [
argument(s)
]
In this format
device-name[(config ...)]#
represents the prompt displayed by the device.
This prompt includes:
the user-defined
device-name
the current CLI mode
the command keywords and arguments typed by the user
Example:
In the command below:
device-name(config-port-
1/1/10
)#description access
the CLI mode is
config-port-1/1/10
description
is the command keyword
access
