Position-Dependent And Keyword-Driven Parameters - Cisco MGX 8850 Command Reference Manual

SPVC and SVC Commands
This chapter describes the commands that apply to semi-permanent virtual circuits (SPVCs) and
switched virtual circuits (SVCs). These commands allow you to add, delete, configure, display status,
and specify statistics for these connections. The commands include the following areas:

Position-Dependent and Keyword-Driven Parameters

A command can include parameters that are keyword-driven or position-dependent.
For position-dependent parameters, you must type parameters in the order they appear in the syntax
description or on-line help. To create a logical port, for example, the position-dependent syntax is:
addport <ifNum> <bay.line> <guaranteedRate> <maxrate> <sctID> <ifType> [vpi]
For a keyword-driven parameter, a keyword must precede the value. The keyword is preceded by a dash
and followed by the parameter (–timeout <secs>, for example). The order you enter keyword-driven
parameters does not matter—although any preceding or succeeding, position-dependent parameters
must appear as they do in the command syntax description.
In the following syntax example, the command is to delete more than one connection at a time. The
mandatory, position-dependent connection identifier consist of a logical port (ifNum) and the VPI and
VCI of the first connection to delete. After the connection identifier, the line shows two optional,
keyword-driven parameters. These keyword-driven parameters let you enter the number of connections
to delete and specify verbose mode:
delcons <ifNum> <vpi> <vci> [-num <num. conns to del>] [-verbose < 1 | 0 >]
