Understanding the Command Syntax
ExtremeWare XOS 11.0 Concepts Guide 29
you could enter the following shortcut:
configure engineering delete port 1:3,4:6
Although it is helpful to have unique names for system components, this is not a requirement. If
ExtremeWare XOS encounters any ambiguity in the components within your command, it generates a
message requesting that you clarify the object you specified.
NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and VLAN names), Extreme Networks
recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the
keyword, the system may return an error message.
Modular Switch Numerical Ranges
Commands that require you to enter one or more port numbers on a modular switch use the parameter
<port_list> (or <ports>) in the syntax. A <port_list> can be one port on a particular slot. For
example,
port 3:1
A <port_list> can be a range of numbers. For example,
port 3:1-3:3 or port 3:1-3
You can add additional slot and port numbers to the list, separated by a comma:
port 3:1,4:8,6:10
You can specify all ports on a particular slot. For example,
port 3:*
indicates all ports on slot 3.
You can specify a range of slots and ports. For example,
port 2:3-4:5
indicates slot 2, port 3 through slot 4, port 5.
Names
All named components within a category of the switch configuration, such as VLAN, must have a
unique name. Names can be re-used across categories, however. Names must begin with an alphabetical
character and cannot contain any spaces. The maximum length for a name is 32 characters. Names may
contain alphanumeric characters and underscores (_) and cannot be keywords, such as vlan, stp, and so
on.
NOTE
If you use the same name across categories (for example, STPD and VLAN names), Extreme Networks
recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the actual name. If you do not use the
keyword, the system may return an error message.
