Commands are not case-sensitive.
To enter a simple command:
At the prompt, enter the name of the command.
To enter multiple commands:
At the prompt, enter each command in succession. For example, to display the
system menu and reboot the Switch units in the stack, enter:
system control reboot
To enter commands that require values:
Append the values to the name of the command. For example, to display the
system menu and change your password, enter:
system management password <password>
If you do not specify values for a command that requires them, you are prompted
to enter the values. At each prompt, the default value is displayed in brackets.
To enter multiple commands that require password values:
At the prompt, enter each command in succession, then append the password to
the name of the command. If the password contains spaces, surround it with quote
marks. If the password does not contain spaces, you do not have to use quote
marks.
For example, to display the system menu and change your password, enter:
system management password "my new password" (contains spaces)
or
system management password mynewpassword (no spaces)
To enter abbreviated commands:
At the prompt, enter enough characters to uniquely identify the commands. For
example, to display the system menu and then change the password for your user,
enter:
sy ma pa <password>
To apply commands to a range of ports:
There are some commands, for example, physicalInterface ethernet portMode
command that you may wish to apply to multiple ports in a Switch unit or a stack.
Once you have entered enough characters to uniquely identify the command a
prompt will display similar to the example below:
Select Ethernet port (unit:port....,?):
You can enter the ports at this prompt using the correct notation, or enter ?, which
will display an example of how to enter a range of ports and detail the available
ports that you can apply the command to. Entering ? will display a prompt similar
to the example below (if the command does not produce such a prompt, then that
command can only be applied to a specific port and not to a range of ports):
Example comma separated list: 1:1-2,2:3-4:5
Available ports for this command are: 1:1-1:12,2:1-2:12
The correct notation for entering a range of commands is as shown in the example
table below:
