Limits

The command line can process up to 4500 characters, including spaces. If you attempt to enter more
than 4500 characters, the switch emits an audible "beep" and will not accept any further input. The first
4500 characters are processed, however.

Port Numbering

ExtremeWare XOS runs on both stand-alone and modular switches, and the port numbering scheme is
slightly different on each. This section cover the following topics:
Stand-alone Switch Numerical Ranges on page 43

NOTE
The keyword all acts on all possible ports; it continues on all ports even if one port in the sequence fails.

Description
Enclose a variable or value. You must specify the variable or value. For example, in the
syntax
configure vlan <vlan> ipaddress <ipaddress>
you must supply a VLAN name for <vlan name> and an address for <ipaddress> when
entering the command. Do not type the angle brackets.
Enclose a required value or list of required arguments. One or more values or arguments
can be specified. For example, in the syntax
disable port [<port_list> | all]
you must specify either specific ports or all for all ports when entering the command. Do
not type the square brackets.
Separates mutually exclusive items in a list, one of which must be entered. For example,
in the syntax
configure snmp add community [readonly | readwrite]
<alphanumeric_string>
you must specify either the read or write community string in the command. Do not type
the vertical bar.
Enclose an optional value or a list of optional arguments. One or more values or arguments
can be specified. For example, in the syntax
reboot {time <month> <day> <year> <hour> <min> <sec>} {cancel}
{warm} {msm <slot_id>}
You can specify either a particular date and time combination, or the keyword cancel to
cancel a previously scheduled reboot. (In this command, if you do not specify an
argument, the command will prompt, asking if you want to reboot the switch now.) Do not
type the braces.
