Configuration using WBM and CLI
4.2 Command Line Interface
Directory structure and syntax of the CLI commands
Before you can enter a command in the Command Line Interface, you must first open the
required menu or submenu.
You will find a description of the CLI syntax at the end of the individual sections under Menus
in the WBM (Page 47).
Addressing scheme of the ports
The following addressing scheme is used for the port designations:
● The number relates directly to the port.
The label 2 therefore stands for the second port on the X-200 IE switch.
Symbols for representing CLI commands
CLI commands generally have one or more parameters that are represented in the syntax
description as follows:
● Mandatory parameters are shown in pointed brackets.
Example: <IP address>
If you omit necessary parameters, most commands output the current value.
● Optional parameters are shown in square brackets.
Example: devname [Device Name]
You can assign a new name with the "devname" command by setting the parameter
[Device Name]. If the parameter [Device Name] is not set, the current name is displayed.
● Alternative input values are separated by the pipe character ( | ). In this case, you specify
one of the listed values as the parameter.
Example: <E|D>
You enter either E or D.
● If a numeric value is required as a mandatory parameter, you can also specify a range of
values:
Example: <0 ... 255>
Enter a value between 0 and 255.
