Introduction

1.6.1 Command Syntax Conventions

The following conventions apply as you use LCM commands:

• Press the

Enter

key to execute a command after you type it in.

• A

port range

is either a single port number, or a list of port

numbers separated by commas or hyphens. For example,

port

;

3,7

are ports

and

7; 3-5

are ports

, and

; and

3-5,7

are ports

3,4,5,

and

• To quit any command, press the Control-C keys (^C or Ctrl-C).

• You can abbreviate any command where there is no ambiguity;

if there is ambiguity, LCM responds with an error message.

• Commands are not case sensitive.

• Invalid commands or misspellings returns an error message.

• The previous command can be repeated by typing

• MAC addresses are displayed in little-endian Ethernet (least

significant bit) bit order, with each octet separated by a colon.
For example:

ELS100-16 >address 00:40:27:04:1a:0f

• Information that you need to enter with an LCM command is

enclosed in square brackets [ ]. For example, you must enter a
port number and an IP address to execute the

ipaddr [PORT-

NUMBER] [IP ADDRESS]

command:

ELS100-16 >ipaddr 6 192.138.217.40

• Parameters that appear in all capital letters, for example

bridge

[PORT-RANGE]

, indicate that you must enter a value for that

parameter. If a string of parameters is displayed between braces,
for example

[{off|on|noBPDU}]

, you must select one of the

displayed options. For example, if you wanted to enable
bridging on a port, or a range of ports, you would enter:

ELS100-16 >bridge 2-4 on
