Command Groups

Introduction

The Command Language Interface (CLI) is a network management application operated through
an ASCII terminal without the use of a Graphic User Interface (GUI) driven software application.
By directly entering commands, the user has greater configuration flexibility. The CLI is a basic
command-line interpreter similar to the UNIX C shell.
A device can be configured and maintained by entering commands from the CLI, which is based
solely on textual input and output with commands being entered by a terminal keyboard and the
output displayed as text via a terminal monitor. The CLI can be accessed from a console terminal
connected to an EIA/TIA-232 port or through a Telnet session.
This guide describes how the Command Line Interface (CLI) is structured, describes the
command syntax, and describes the command functionality.
This guide also provides information for configuring the PowerConnect switch, details the
procedures and provides configuration examples. Basic installation configuration is described in
the User's Guide and must be completed before using this document.
