CLI Command Conventions

The following table describes the command syntax conventions.

In a command line, square brackets indicates an optional

entry.

{ }

In a command line, curly brackets indicate a selection of

option must be selected. For example: flowcontrol

{auto|on|off} means that for the flowcontrol command

either auto, on or off must be selected.

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
