CEE CLI configuration guidelines and restrictions
NOTE
You need to enter either the copy running-config startup-config command or the write memory
command to save your configuration changes to flash so that they are not lost if there is a system
reload or power outage.
• All conventional port-related Fabric OS CLI commands are only applicable to Fibre Channel.
These commands have no knowledge of the Ethernet ports. The CEE features and CEE ports
can only be configured through the CEE CLI interface which is accessed by entering the cmsh
command from the Fabric OS shell.
• System startup
The system starts up with the default Fabric OS configuration and the CEE startup
configuration. After logging in you are in the Fabric OS shell. For information on accessing the
CEE commands from the Fabric OS shell, see “Accessing the CEE CLI from the Fabric OS shell”
on page 19.
• Some Fabric OS commands are available in the CEE shell. Enter the fos ? command at the CEE
CLI Privileged EXEC mode command prompt to view the available Fabric OS commands. The
traditional Fabric OS command help found in the Fabric OS shell is not available through the
CEE shell.
• The CEE configuration is not affected by configUpload and configDownload commands entered
in the Fabric OS shell.
• Multiple users can Telnet and issue commands using the Exec mode and the Privileged Exec
mode.
