Using the CEE CLI

In this chapter

Management Tools

The Brocade FCoE hardware runs traditional Fabric OS software and can be managed using the
same tools traditionally used for SAN management. Using the Fabric OS Command Line Interface
(CLI), administrators have access to all commands and utilities common to other Brocade switches.
In addition, the Fabric OS software enables Brocade Web Tools to support the following features for
configuring and managing a Converged Ethernet Network:

CEE Command Line Interface

The Brocade CEE CLI is designed to support the management of CEE and Layer 2 Ethernet
switching functionality. The CEE CLI uses an industry-standard hierarchical shell familiar to
Ethernet/IP networking administrators.
All conventional port-related Fabric OS CLI commands are only applicable to Fibre Channel. These
commands have no knowledge of the Ethernet ports. The CEE features and CEE ports can only be
configured through the CEE CLI interface which is accessed by entering the cmsh command from
the Fabric OS shell.
The system starts up with the default Fabric OS configuration and the CEE startup configuration.
After logging in you are in the Fabric OS shell. For information on accessing the CEE commands
from the Fabric OS shell, see
Some Fabric OS commands are available in the CEE shell. Enter the Fabric OS ? command at the
CEE CLI privileged EXEC mode command prompt to view the available Fabric OS commands. The
traditional Fabric OS command help found in the Fabric OS shell is not available through the CEE
shell.
