About the Command Line Interface

To use and navigate the command line interface of your unit, please refer to the following points for assistance:

■

When initially accessing the command line interface, press Enter when prompted. The User View 

menu for the unit 

displays. This is indicated by the chevron brackets around the name of the unit at the prompt, for example, 

(where xx is either EI or SI).

■

When in the System View menu, square brackets appear around the name of the unit at the 

prompt, for example, 

[sw5500-xx]

.

■

You must be in the System View menu to access the configurable CLI commands.

■

Some commands can be entered directly at any prompt from anywhere in the interface.

■

If you enter part of a command followed by a ? (with no space between), the CLI will show you 

all the commands 

that begin in that way.

■

The term ‘view’ may be used interchangeably with the term ‘menu’.

■

The 

undo

 c

ommand is placed before the command you wish to undo, for example, 

undo setauthentication 

password.

■

places the cursor back to the start of the command line.

■

Enter the first few characters of a command and press TAB to enter the full command without 

having to input the 

entire command (where there is only one command that starts with the entered characters).

■

Use the Up Arrow key at the prompt to repeat the previous command string.

■

Use the Delete key to delete the character after the cursor; the Backspace key deletes the character 

before the cursor.

■

When entering physical port numbers, Enter the port number as 

x/0/z

, where x is the unit 

number and z is the 

physical port number.
