xStack Gigabit Layer 3 Switch Command Line Interface Manual
All commands in the CLI function in this way. In addition, the syntax of the help prompts are the same as presented in this
manual − angle brackets < > indicate a numerical value or character string, braces { } indicate optional parameters or a choice of
parameters, and brackets [ ] indicate required parameters.
If a command is entered that is unrecognized by the CLI, the top-level commands will be displayed under the Available
commands: prompt.
Figure 2-5. The Available Commands Prompt
The top-level commands consist of commands such as show or config. Most of these commands require one or more parameters
to narrow the top-level command. This is equivalent to show what? or config what? Where the what? is the next parameter.
For example, if you enter the show command with no additional parameters, the CLI will then display all of the possible next
parameters.
