Command Abbreviation

Most commands can be abbreviated by entering the first characters which distinguish the command

from the others in the same mode. For example, consider the following full command and a valid

abbreviation:

Tab Completion

By entering the first letter of a command at any prompt and pressing <Tab>, the ISCLI displays all

available commands or options that begin with that letter. Entering additional letters further refines

the list of commands or options displayed. If only one command fits the input text when <Tab> is

pressed, that command is supplied on the command line, waiting to be entered.

If multiple commands share the typed characters, when you press <Tab>, the ISCLI completes the

common part of the shared syntax.

User Access Levels

To enable better switch management and user accountability, three levels or classes of user access

have been implemented on the

switch. Levels of access to CLI, Web management functions, and

screens increase as needed to perform various switch management tasks. Conceptually, access

classes are defined as follows:

 user

Interaction with the switch is completely passive—nothing can be changed on the

switch. Users

may display information that has no security or privacy implications, such as switch statistics

and current operational state information.

 oper

Operators can make temporary changes on the

switch. These changes are lost when the switch is

rebooted/reset. Operators have access to the switch management features used for daily switch

operations. Because any changes an operator makes are undone by a reset of the switch,

operators cannot severely impact switch operation.
