13 Command Reference
This chapter provides an alphabetical listing of the CLI commands, including information for each
command.

Access authority

The Authority paragraph in each command description indicates what types of sessions are required to
enter that command. Commands associated with monitoring tasks are available to all account names
without any special session requirement. Commands associated with configuration tasks are available only
in an Admin session. An account must have Admin authority to enter the admin start command, which
opens an Admin session.
Some commands require that you open additional editing sessions in an Admin session, such as the
following:
• Commands that modify zoning require a Zoning Edit session, which is opened by the zoning edit
command. These commands include the alias, zone, zoneset, and zoning commands.
• Commands that modify device security require a Security Edit session, which is opened by the
security edit command. These command include the group, security, and securityset
commands.
• Commands that modify the switch configuration require a Config Edit session, which is opened by the
config edit command. These command include all of the set config commands.
• Commands that modify the Call Home e-mail notification configuration require a Callhome Edit
session, which is opened by the callhome edit command. These commands include the
callhome, capture, and profile commands.
• Commands that modify the Internet Protocol Security configuration require an Ipsec Edit session, which
is opened by the ipsec edit command. These commands include the ipsec,
ipsec association and ipsec policy commands.

Syntax and operands

The Syntax paragraph defines the grammatical scheme for using operands in the command:
command
operand
operand [value]
operand [value1] [value2]
The command is followed by one or more operands. Consider the following rules and conventions for
using commands and operands:
• Commands and operands are case-insensitive.
Required operand values appear in brackets: [value]. Optional operands and values are shown in
•
italics: operand [value].
• Underlined portions of the operand in the command format indicate the abbreviated form that can be
used. For example, the delete operand can be abbreviated del.
The Operands paragraph lists and describes each operand that can be used with the command and any
applicable values.

Notes and examples

The Notes paragraph presents information about the command and its use, including special applications
or its effects on other commands. The Examples paragraph presents sample screen captures of the
command and its output.
