Command Reference Overview

Abbreviated Syntax

Abbreviated syntax is the shortest unambiguous allowable abbreviation of a command or parameter.

Typically, this is the first three letters of the command. If you do not enter enough letters to allow the

switch to determine which command you mean, the syntax helper will provide a list of the options

based on the portion of the command you have entered.

When using abbreviated syntax, you must enter enough characters to make the command unambiguous

and distinguishable to the switch.

All named components of the switch configuration must have a unique name. Names must begin with

an alphabetical character and are delimited by whitespace, unless enclosed in quotation marks.

Command Shortcuts

All named components of the switch configuration must have a unique name. Components are named

command. When you enter a command to configure a named component, you do not

need to use the keyword of the component. For example, to create a VLAN, you must enter a unique

create vlan engineering

Once you have created the VLAN with a unique name, you can then eliminate the keyword

all other commands that require the name to be entered. For example, instead of entering the modular

switch command

configure vlan engineering delete port 1:3,4:6

you could enter the following shortcut:

configure engineering delete port 1:3,4:6

Similarly, on the stand-alone switch, instead of entering the command

configure vlan engineering delete port 1-3,6

you could enter the following shortcut:

configure engineering delete port 1-3,6

Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers on a modular switch use the parameter

in the syntax. A

can be one port on a particular slot. For example,

can be a range of numbers. For example,

port 3:1-3:3

You can add additional slot and port numbers to the list, separated by a comma:

port 3:1,4:8,6:10
