Using the CLI
The Command-line interface (CLI) is used for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the switch over CLI, Telnet,
SSH. Use a baud rate of
115200
when using a USB serial interface.
It is strongly recommended to use the Web interface whenever possible to simplify user
configuration and reduce configuration mismatch.
CLI interface may contain more configuration commands versus those affected as a result or
user configuration changes over the web. This user guide only covers the commands
affected whenever user.
All commands entered in CLI are followed by values, parameters or both. Parameters may be mandatory values,
optional values, choices, or a combination. Values may be in a form of six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons
(MAC address), for example 00:06:29:32:81:40., dotted-decimal notation (Area IDs), for example 0.0.0.1, slot/port
number for example 1/1 or logical slot/port (applicable in case of a link-aggregation).
Command

The < > angle brackets indicate that a mandatory parameter is to be entered in

place of the brackets and text inside them.

9.3.1.
Completing a Partial Command
Enter the first few letters of the command, and then press the Tab key. The command line parser will complete the
command if the string entered is unique to the command. Another option will be to type the first few letters followed
by <?>. This shows all the commands that start with the letters already typed.
9.3.2.
Command History
Use the <Up/Down> arrows keys to scroll between the commands you already typed. To display the entire history the
#show history
command can be used.
9.3.3.
Using the Backspace Key in NOS CLI
Other than expected, the backspace key deletes the character at the cursor location only. So it is required to move the
cursor to this location before using the cursor to delete a character.
9.3.4.
‘no' Commands
Almost all configuration commands have a corresponding 'no' form. The 'no' form is syntactically similar (but not
necessarily identical) to the configuration command; however, it either resets the parameters to default values for
the configurable item or disables the item altogether.
