Command syntax

The MPX200 CLI command syntax uses the following format:

command

keyword

keyword [value]

keyword [value1][value2]

The command is followed by one or more options. Consider the following rules and conventions:

• Commands and options are case insensitive.

• Required option values appear in standard font within brackets; for example, [value].

• Non-required option values appear in italics within brackets; for example, [value].

In command prompts, <1> or <2> indicates which blade is being managed.

Command line completion

The command line completion feature simplifies entering and repeating commands. Table 10 (page

77) lists the command line completion keystrokes.
