ON/N3000-ON/N3100-ON/N3200-ON Series Switches
Introduction
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a network management application
operated through an ASCII terminal without the use of a Graphic User
Interface (GUI) driven software application. By directly entering commands,
the user has greater configuration flexibility. The CLI is a basic command-line
interpreter with command-line completion, in-line syntax help, and prior
command recall.
A switch can be configured and maintained by entering commands from the
CLI, which is based solely on textual input and output with commands being
entered by a terminal keyboard and the output displayed as text via a terminal
monitor. The CLI can be accessed from a console terminal connected to an
RS-232 port or through a Telnet/SSH session. Serial communication via a
dedicated USB port is available on the N1100-ON Series switch.
This guide describes how the CLI is structured, describes the command
syntax, and describes the command functionality.
This guide also provides guidelines for configuring the Dell
®
EMC™
Networking switch, and provides limited configuration examples. Basic
installation is described in the User’s Guide and must be completed before
using this document.
This document applies to the following switch firmware versions:
• Version 6.6.3—N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N2200-ON/N3000-

Command Groups
The system commands can be broken down into three sets of functional
groups: Layer 2, Layer 3, and Utility.
