Negating the Effect of Commands
For many configuration commands, the prefix keyword no can be entered to cancel the effect of a command or
reset the configuration to the default value. This guide describes the negation effect for all applicable commands.
Command Completion
If the command entered is incomplete, invalid or has missing or invalid parameters, then the appropriate error
message is displayed. This assists in entering the correct command. By pressing the button, an incomplete
command is entered. If the characters already entered are not enough for the system to identify a single matching
command, press ? to display the available commands matching the characters already entered.
Nomenclature
When referring to an Ethernet port in a CLI command, the following format is used:
• For an Ethernet port on a standalone device: Ethernet_type port_number
• For an Ethernet port on a stacked device: unit_number/Ethernet_type port number
The Ethernet type may be Gigabit Ethernet (indicated by “g”) or Fast Ethernet (indicated by “e”).
For example, g3 stands for Gigabit Ethernet port 3 on a stand-alone device, and e3 stands for Fast Ethernet port 3
on a stand-alone device, whereas 1/g3 stands for Gigabit Ethernet port 3 on stacking unit 1 and 1/g3 stands for
Fast Ethernet port 3 on stacking unit 1.
The ports may be described on an individual basis or within a range. Use format port number-port number to
specify a set of consecutive ports and port number, port number to indicate a set of non-consecutive ports. For
example, g1-3 stands for Gigabit Ethernet ports 1, 2 and 3, and g1, 5 stands for Gigabit Ethernet ports 1 and 5.
