

ARROW key will cycle you through the five previously typed commands. After
pressing the UP ARROW key five times, you will go back to the last command
you previously typed. Use the DOWN ARROW key to cycle the five prior typed
commands in the opposite direction.
You can use the BACKSPACE to correct keystroke errors, or to reuse parts of a

previously typed command. When using BACKSPACE, the removed characters
will still appear on the screen, but they have been removed to the position shown
by the cursor. When you start typing, the removed characters are overwritten.

Command Line Format

The command line format is as follows:
[Verb] Command [Parameter] [Data] EOL
Verb - the type of action to be taken with the command.

– Set - enables you to provision a defined parameter.
– Show - enables you to display the provisioned state of a parameter.
Parameter - command input that defines the particular command element to be

shown or modified.
Data - the data input for the parameter.

EOL - this parser responds only to <CR Return>. When the parser receives

<CR Return>, the input is terminated, and the command line entry is processed.
For all commands that indicate a specific port on an IOC card, the port will be
referred to as IOC-[y] or IOC1-[y] in the command description, where y=1 or 2. If
port redundancy is enabled, the bonded port will use the configuration for port 1
(y=1) for all commands.
