Context Command Summaries

This section contains a table for each CLI context that summarizes all the commands that can be executed in each context. The following typographical conventions are used when describing command syntax and usage.

eqcli>

Regular constant width type is used for the eqcli command prompt and messages.

eqcli> vlan list

Bold constant width type is used for commands you type.

eqcli> vlan vlname show

Bold italic constant width type is used for command elements that you must specify, such as an object name or a parameter value.

{option | option...}

A series of elements in braces (“{“, “}”), separated by vertical bars (“|”), means you must choose one of the options between the braces. The braces are not typed on the command line.

{option,option...}

A series of elements in braces (“{“, “}”), separated by commas (“,”), means you may chose more than one of the options between the braces. Separate multiple options on the command line using either commas or vertical bars. If you use white space in the string of options, the entire string must be surrounded by quotes. The braces are not typed on the command line.

[option]

Square brackets (“[“, “]”) indicate optional command elements. The brackets are not specified on the command line.

eqcli vlan> *ip ip_addr

An asterisk (*) before a parameter indicates that the parameter must be set before the associated object can be created.

# Text in the right margin

Text in italic font following the pound character (#) in the right margin is a comment indicating the purpose of the command and should not be typed onto the command line. Details appear in notes following each table.
