CLI Conventions

Command Prompts
By default, the MSS CLI provides the following prompt for restricted users. The mm portion
shows the DWS switch model number (for example, 1008) and the nnnnnn portion shows the
last 6 digits of the switch's media access control (MAC) address.
DWS-mm-nnnnnn>
After you become enabled as an administrative user by typing enable and supplying a suitable
password, MSS displays the following prompt:
DWS-mm-nnnnnn#
For ease of presentation, this manual shows the restricted and enabled prompts as follows:
DWS-1008>
DWS-1008#
Syntax Notation
The MSS CLI uses standard syntax notation:
• Bold monospace font identifies the command and keywords you must type. For example:
set enablepass
• Italic monospace font indicates a placeholder for a value. For example, you replace vlan-id
in the following command with a virtual LAN (VLAN) ID:
clear interface vlan-id ip
• Curly brackets ({ }) indicate a mandatory parameter, and square brackets ([ ]) indicate
an optional parameter. For example, you must enter dynamic or port and a port list in the
following command, but a VLAN ID is optional:
clear fdb {dynamic | port port-list} [vlan vlan-id]
• A vertical bar (|) separates mutually exclusive options within a list of possibilities. For
example, you enter either enable or disable, not both, in the following command:
set port {enable | disable} port-list
