Help Page Access

Every page contains a link to the online help, which contains information to assist in configuring and managing
the switch. The online help pages are context sensitive. For example, if the IP Addressing page is open, the help
topic for that page displays if you click Help.
Figure 1 on page 57 shows the location of the Help link on the Web interface.

Using the Command-Line Interface

The command-line interface (CLI) is a text-based way to manage and monitor the system. You can access the
CLI by using a direct serial connection or by using a remote logical connection with telnet or SSH.
The CLI groups commands into modes according to the command function. Each of the command modes
supports specific software commands. The commands in one mode are not available until you switch to that
particular mode, with the exception of the User EXEC mode commands. You can execute the User EXEC mode
commands in the Privileged EXEC mode.
To display the commands available in the current mode, enter a question mark (?) at the command prompt.
To display the available command keywords or parameters, enter a question mark (?) after each word you type
at the command prompt. If there are no additional command keywords or parameters, or if additional
parameters are optional, the following message appears in the output:
<cr>
For more information about the CLI, see the D-Link DWS-4000 Series CLI Command Reference.
The D-Link DWS-4000 Series CLI Command Reference lists each command available from the CLI by the
command name and provides a brief description of the command. Each command reference also contains the
following information:
• The command keywords and the required and optional parameters.
• The command mode you must be in to access the command.
• The default value, if any, of a configurable setting on the device.
The commands in the document also include a description of the information that the command shows.
