CLI Command Conventions
The following table describes the command syntax conventions.
Conventions
Description
[ ]
In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional
entry.
{ }
In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of
compulsory parameters separated by the
|
character. One
option must be selected. For example: flowcontrol
{auto|on|off} means that for the flowcontrol command
either auto, on or off must be selected.
Italic font
Indicates a parameter.
Any individual key on the keyboard. For example click
Ctrl+F4
Any combination keys pressed simultaneously on the
keyboard.
Screen Display
Indicates system messages and prompts appearing on the
console.
all
When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or
parameters and all is an option, the default for the command
is all when no parameters are defined. For example, the
command interface range port-channel has the option of
either entering a range of channels, or selecting all. When the
command is entered without a parameter, it automatically
defaults to all.
interface-id
This indicates a port, VLAN or LAG. The syntax for
interface_id is as follows:
{
port_type
}
port-number
|{
vlan
}
vlan-id
| {
port-channel
}
LAG-number
