How This Book Is Organized
Chapter 1, “ISCLI Basics,” describes how to connect to the switch and access the information and
configuration commands. This chapter provides an overview of the command syntax, including
command modes, global commands, and shortcuts.
Chapter 2, “Information Commands,” shows how to view switch configuration parameters.
Chapter 3, “Statistics Commands,” shows how to view switch performance statistics.
Chapter 4, “Configuration Commands,” shows how to configure switch system parameters, ports,
VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, SNMP, Port Mirroring, IP Routing, Port Trunking, and more.
Chapter 5, “Operations Commands,” shows how to use commands which affect switch
performance immediately, but do not alter permanent switch configurations (such as temporarily
disabling ports). The commands describe how to activate or deactivate optional software features.
Chapter 6, “Boot Options,” describes the use of the primary and alternate switch images, how to
load a new software image, and how to reset the software to factory defaults.
Chapter 7, “Maintenance Commands,” shows how to generate and access a dump of critical switch
state information, how to clear it, and how to clear part or all of the forwarding database.
“Index” includes pointers to the description of the key words used throughout the book.
