Structure of this Guide
This guide documents each ExtremeWare command. Related commands are grouped together and
organized into chapters based on their most common usage. The chapters reflect the organization of the
ExtremeWare Software User Guide. If a specific command is relevant to a wide variety of functions and
could be included in a number of different chapters, we have attempted to place the command in the
most logical chapter. Within each chapter, commands appear in alphabetical order. You can use the
Index of Commands to locate specific commands if they do not appear where you expect to find them.
For each command, the following information is provided:
• Command Syntax—The actual syntax of the command. The syntax conventions (the use of braces or
curly brackets, for example) are defined in the section "Understanding the Command Syntax" on
page 45.
• Description—A brief (one sentence) summary of what the command does.
• Syntax Description—The definition of any keywords and options used in the command.
• Default—The defaults, if any, for this command. The default can be the default action of the
command if optional arguments are not provided, or it can be the default state of the switch (such as
for an enable/disable command).
• Usage Guidelines—Information to help you use the command. This may include prerequisites,
prohibitions, and related commands, as well as other information.
• Example—Examples of the command usage, including output, if relevant.
• History—The version of ExtremeWare in which the command was introduced, and version(s) where
it was modified, if appropriate.
• Platform Availability—The platforms on which the command is supported.
NOTE
Commands designated as "available on all platforms" are supported on both Summit chipset-based and
"i"-series platforms. Summit e-series devices are not included.
