11 CLI Command Set

This section describes the VLS command-line interface (CLI) command set. The CLI command allows
you to remotely configure, manage, and monitor the VLS over the LAN using a secure shell session.
It also allows you to locally configure, manage, and monitor the VLS through the serial connection.

Commands

There are two types of CLI commands:
•

CLI-only commands

Commands that are processed by the CLI and affect only the CLI.
• VLS commands
Commands that are passed to the VLS to configure, manage, and monitor the VLS.

Conventions

All command arguments are case-sensitive and optional. They can be specified in any order. There
are several option tags associated with a command. The following conventions are used in this section
to identify option tags and arguments:
• An option tag is preceded by a -.
• The argument is separated from the option tag by a space.
• If an argument contains a space, it must be enclosed by either two single quotes or two double
quotes.
• If there is no argument after an option tag, the option is a switch.
• An * after an argument means the argument (including its option tag) can be repeated.
• A | between a compound argument means one or the other argument.
