BigIron RX(config-if–e100-5/1)# – The interface is a 10/100 port.
BigIron RX(config-if–e1000-5/1)# – The interface is a Gigabit port.
NOTE
For simplicity, the port speeds sometimes are not shown in example Interface level prompts in this
manual.

Navigating among command levels

To reach other CLI command levels, you need to enter certain commands. At each level there is a
launch command that allows you to move either up or down to the next level.

CLI command structure

Many CLI commands may require textual or numeral input as part of the command.
Required or optional fields
These fields are either required or optional depending on how the information is bracketed. For
clarity, a few CLI command examples are explained below.
Syntax: [no] deny redistribute <value> all | bgp | rip | static address <ip-addr> <ip-mask>
When an item is bracketed with "< >" symbols, the information requested is a variable and
required.
When an item is not enclosed by "< >" or "[ ]" symbols, the item is a required keyword.
When an item is bracketed with "[ ]" symbols, the information requested is optional.
