Syntax Notation
The UNIVERGE WL Control System CLI uses standard syntax notation:
l Bold monospace font identifies the command and keywords you must type.
For example:
set enablepass
l Italic monospace font indicates a placeholder for a value. For example, you
replace vlan-id in the following command with a virtual LAN (VLAN) ID:
clear interface vlan-id ip
l Curly brackets ({ }) indicate a mandatory parameter, and square brackets ([ ])
indicate an optional parameter. For example, you must enter dynamic or port
and a port list in the following command, but a VLAN ID is optional:
clear fdb {dynamic | port port-list} [vlan vlan-id]
l A vertical bar (|) separates mutually exclusive options within a list of
possibilities. For example, you enter either enable or disable, not both, in the
following command:
set port {enable | disable} port-list
Text Entry Conventions and Allowed Characters
Unless otherwise indicated, the UNIVERGE WL Control System CLI accepts
standard ASCII alphanumeric characters, except for tabs and spaces, and is
case-insensitive.
The CLI has specific notation requirements for MAC addresses, IP addresses, and
masks, and allows you to group usernames, MAC addresses, virtual LAN
(VLAN) names, and ports in a single command.
UNIVERGE WL Control System recommends that you do not use the same name
with different capitalizations for VLANs or access control lists (ACLs). For
example, do not configure two separate VLANs with the names red and RED.
The CLI does not support the use of special characters including the following in
any named elements such as SSIDs and VLANs: ampersand (&), angle brackets
(< >), number sign (#), question mark (?), or quotation marks (“”).
